Julian Assange: How did he become such a significant public figure?

Julian Assange is back in Australia after what has been a highly fraught and publicized period.

Since 2010, the media has largely focused on efforts to free him or extradite him to the US – we’ve either forgotten or not spoken about what he did in the first place which resulted in him becoming a significant public figure.

Guest: Matthew Ricketson is Professor of Communication at Deakin University

Presenter: Warren Andrew
