You could amuse us all by recording yourself impersonating Russell Brand reading Somali with a Geordie accent and posting it up.

It looks like it:

WASHINGTON/SYDNEY (Reuters) -A cross-party delegation of Australian lawmakers that traveled to the United States seeking the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said they had a productive discussion in Washington with the U.S. Justice Department.

The group of Australian lawmakers urged U.S. officials to drop their attempts to extradite Assange from a British prison to the United States, where he is wanted on charges over WikiLeaks' release of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables.

"We had a fair hearing and we had a productive discussion," Australian Senator Peter Whish-Wilson said after the meeting.

The delegation included lawmakers from the Labor government, the opposition Liberal and National parties, and the Greens.

Labor Member of Parliament Tony Zappia said Australians believed Assange, an Australian citizen, had been punished enough and that his charges should be dropped.

"Our discussions with the Department of Justice right now and with others in Washington have enabled us to put that view very clearly and very strongly, we've done that," Zappia told reporters.

He's reached a deal to plead guilty and return to Australia on Wednesday

Mr. Assange, 52, was granted his request to appear before a federal judge at one of the more remote outposts of the federal judiciary, the courthouse in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, according to a brief court filing made public late Monday.

Mr. Assange is scheduled to appear in Saipan at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday and is expected to fly back to Australia “at the conclusion of the proceedings,” Matthew J. McKenzie, an official in the department’s counterterrorism division, wrote in a letter to the judge in the case.

Assange Agrees to Plead Guilty in Exchange for Release, Ending Standoff With U.S.

Barring last-minute snags, the deal would bring to an end a prolonged battle that began after the WikiLeaks founder became alternately celebrated and reviled for revealing state secrets in the 2010s.
