Show Notes
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will land in Canberra this evening a free man, having pleaded guilty and being sentenced for espionage with no more time to serve.
It related to a single charge of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified US National Defence documents.
US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says Assange will likely come out of this with a book deal and a few talk show appearances.
