Julian Assange electoral broadcast
AUSTRALIAN V/O:
And now for an electoral broadcast from Julian Assange.
JULIAN:
Fellow Australians, you're probably wondering what I could do for you; should you elect me to be your senate representative.
Well, the answer's 'sod all' - as I'm being detained under house arrest; thousands of miles away.
Indeed, you're probably wondering why I'm even bothering to stand for election.
Well, being an advocate of transparency, I'll give it to you straight - it all boils down to money!
You see, if I can pass the threshold of 4%, I'll be eligible to claim more than two dollars for every vote I receive... which would be jolly useful, considering how I'm up to my nuts in legal bills and running short of wealthy friends.
Remember - whilst it's a crime NOT to vote; it's perfectly legal to WASTE your vote!
And with that in mind, I ask you to please - vote Assange!
