I mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.

Julian Assange Free on Bail, Departs UK for Australia! in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Credit to the Australian members of parliament who haven’t let this go:

[Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese has said he raised the matter directly with the US, including with the president, Joe Biden, during his visit to Washington in October 2023.

In February this year, Albanese and cabinet members supported a motion put forward by independent MP Andrew Wilkie urging the UK and US to allow Assange to return home to Australia.

The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, said he also raised the matter with his US counterpart, Merrick Garland, during a meeting in January this year.

Book #6 was released earlier this week, with the final #7 due next year.

Those who have read, what did you think of it?

I’m 68% of the way through according to my Kindle, but I’m enjoying it a lot more than the last 2 books already!
