    Assuming this "Kim Hill" is a NZ Journalist and the comments on your website seem to suggests she's one of the better ones its pretty astonishing how ill informed and ignorant she appears to be, or is she just "on message"?

    "If you were prepared to risk imprisonment should Julian Assange not do the same?"

    -Why should anyone be "prepared for...imprisonment" merely for being a journalist OR a publisher and publishing genuine documents in the public interest? Is she mad?

    "I understand your empathy for him, but you're 90 years old."

    -Hard to even understand what this means... is it an insult i.e. "you're a senile old fool so I understand..."?

    " He has not got a good image. The rape charges still cling to him."

    FFS...What's his "image" got to do with the merits of his case? Is she completely unaware that its the job of the corporate media to smear its enemies for its masters and that its axiomatic they wont have a "good image"?

    "Rape charges cling to him..."

    -There were no rape charges. Neither of the women even accused him of rape. Any journalist with even a superficial knowledge of the matter knows that and in fact previous to the American attempt there were no real charges at all: merely pretences about continued investigations trumped up and extended by collusion between the Swedish government and the British one with the aid of that lovely Keir Starmer.

    She's pretty toxic. If she's one of the better Z journos I wouldn't like to see the rest. Perhaps that's why I kept reading her name above as an anagram: "Kill Him".
