Assange marks first anniversary of release from prison
His wife Stella said he is working on a project to slow the "rush" towards war.
In the early hours of June 24 last year, Assange was transported under custody in a high-security convoy from Belmarsh maximum security prison to Stansted Airport.
He had been imprisoned in Belmarsh for more than five years and was detained in the UK for 14 years.
He flew on an Australian government jet under formal custody to US federal court in the tiny US overseas territory of Saipan in the Pacific Ocean, refuelling in Bangkok.
On June 26, a plea hearing in Saipan formally secured his release, conditional on him immediately leaving the territory.
Later that day he landed in Canberra where he was reunited with his family.
On the anniversary, Stella Assange said: "We were in Europe for the opening of The Six Billion Dollar Man at Cannes, Pope Francis' funeral, and to try to understand where things are heading - politically and technologically.
"Julian has been working on something for several months now, and I hope it can help slow the rush toward war.
"Three hundred and sixty-five days have passed, but we are light years away from Belmarsh prison.
"To all the supporters who helped make this possible, there are no words to express how grateful we are to have Julian free."

Inside Erin Patterson's family life a decade before her notorious mushroom murders
A decade before Erin Patterson became Australia's infamous mushroom murderer, she and her husband Simon were like many young families delicately trying to balance the demands of life and parenthood. At the time, the couple were living and working in Western Australia while raising their then four-year-old son. But in 2013, after spending about six years in the country's west, the family decided to relocate back to their home state of Victoria. Rather than flying between the states, the family drove 1350km along a corrugated sandy track through the red Australian desert as they made their way back east. Now, photos of the trip of a lifetime have surfaced — offering a glimpse into the Patterson family's life before their world would be irreparably fractured just 10 years later by her wicked crimes. The images taken by Simon, an amateur photographer, were shared at the time in a post on a blogging website where he detailed the family's 'Australian Outback Adventure' along the Anne Beadell Hwy, which runs horizontally through Western and South Australia. The pictures show their campsite set up under a starry night sky, the couple's son playing cricket, a camel and plane wreckage they encountered along the way, and shots of the stunning, orange, rugged terrain. 'One of the greatest feelings in the world is camping under the stars in the Australian outback,' he wrote. 'There is nothing like the peace and tranquility, hundreds of miles from civilisation. It's a real privilege to safely pitch a tent with one's family and enjoy a simple campfire meal in the crisp, clear air. 'The view of the Milky Way above is breathtaking and mesmerising, inviting travellers to stare upwards for hours on end.' At the time of the trip, Patterson was 38-years-old and pregnant with the couple's second child. Simon said the family's household possessions followed behind them, transported in containers by rail, as they made the cross-country journey in their 4WD. While the most common west-to-east route across southern part of Australia is the bitumen-sealed Eyre Hwy, Simon said the family had previously crossed the Nullabor Plain via that road and wanted to try a 'more remote' course. The Anne Beadell Hwy runs through the Great Victoria Desert, which was a site for British atomic bomb tests in the 1950s. Simon said they chose campsites 'far' from the bomb test sites, heeding warnings to travellers to avoid spending too much time in areas with possible nuclear radiation exposure. Along their journey, the family came across many camels — introduced in the 1800s from the Middle East and now considered a pest in the Australian outback — as well as the wreckage of a plane carrying census forms that had crashed several years earlier. During their five-day journey, they grappled with no mobile phone coverage, only saw 10 other parties, and relied mostly on resources they had brought with them, topping up their fuel and basic supplies at a small general store roughly mid-way along the route. Simon said their son managed the trip 'very well' as long as he played cricket with him one or twice every day. At her jury trial earlier this year, Patterson told the court she and Simon married in 2007 while living in Melbourne, then packed up their belongings to travel, before finally settling in Western Australia where their son was born in 2009. During their time there, Patterson opened a second-hand bookstore in the small rural town of Pemberton, in the state's southwest, while her husband worked at the local council. 'I spent months travelling around Western Australia collecting books to sell there. I went to a lot of book fairs and libraries and estates selling their old stocks,' Patterson told the jury as she gave evidence on the stand. 'I painted the inside and I bought about 30 or 35 book shelves from IKEA and I got things like the internet and phone set up.' Patterson also told the jury they decided to move back to Victoria due to a number of factors, including her son being extroverted and she had just fallen pregnant and they wanted to be closer to Simon's parents, Don and Gail Patterson. 'We packed up our home in 2013 and it took a few months to come back,' she said. 'We first went to New Zealand for a few weeks and when we got back we stayed with Don and Gail for a good six weeks. 'It was cramped — in that all three of us were in one room, but it didn't matter because Don and Gail were so welcoming. It was a really good experience.' Patterson and Simon permanently separated in 2015, the year after returning to Victoria, after experiencing bouts of splitting and reconciling from as early as 2009. Last month, Patterson, 50, was found guilty of murdering Don, Gail, and Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson after serving up death cap mushroom-laced beef wellingtons at a family lunch at her Leongatha home, in Victoria's Gippsland, on 29 July 2023. She was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Heather's husband Ian Wilkinson, who attended the lunch but survived. She will be sentenced later this year.

Urgent warning for Aussies heading to holiday hotspot
Aussie travellers have been put on high alert when visiting New Caledonia. The 'risk of civil disorder and violence' was released by Smartraveller on Wednesday, more than a year after a wave of violent unrest swept across the French overseas territory. 'We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in New Caledonia. 'There's still a high police and security presence in the country. Isolated security incidents may occur across the territory.' It comes as a dispute over the political future coming to a head in the Pacific archipelago, which France took possession of in 1852. The separatists of the Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS) announced on Wednesday that they have rejected a recent agreement they signed with French officials on a new status for the territory. French Minister of the Overseas Manuel Valls has announced that he will travel to New Caledonia next week for consultations. In mid-July, after years of failed negotiations, the government in Paris and loyalists and separatists from New Caledonia reached a deal. This provides for a separate state for New Caledonia — but within the French state. Under the deal, there would also be a New Caledonian nationality, and local officials would be given more powers. But security, defence and justice would continue to be controlled by officials in Paris. Valls described the agreement at the time as 'historic'. Representatives of the separatists signed it but did not consider that to be a binding commitment. After internal consultations, the separatists have now rejected the deal and say it does not further their goal of independence. It is unclear whether Valls will be able to change the separatists' minds. Australian travellers to New Caledonia have been warned to exercise high levels of caution in response to political unrest. Credit: Google Maps Last year, 14 people died in serious unrest in New Caledonia over a controversial electoral reform. The territory is important to France for geopolitical and military reasons and because of its nickel deposits. It now has a population of about 270,000 and gained extensive autonomy under the 1998 Nouméa Accord. In three referendums, held in 2018, 2020 and 2021, the inhabitants of the islands voted to remain part of France. The independence movement boycotted the last vote and does not accept the result. The Kanak people, New Caledonia's indigenous population, have long hoped for their own state. Smartraveller has warned Australians that 'political tensions and unrest may increase at short notice'. 'Security incidents, including arson, continue across the country. Political demonstrations and protests may turn violent at short notice. Some essential services, including healthcare, are affected.'

Albanese dismisses Hamas propaganda applauding recognition
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged media outlets not to promote propaganda from Hamas as he argued the listed terror group was increasingly isolated and desperate to maintain the appearance of relevance. A statement on a Telegram channel in Hamas' name on Thursday disavowed comments reported in this masthead on Wednesday, quoting senior Hamas official Hassan Yousef applauding Australia for committing to recognise a Palestinian state. 'The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) denies the issuance of any statement by Sheikh Hassan Yousef, detained in occupation jails since October 19, 2023, on the Australian position regarding the recognition of the Palestinian state,' reads the new statement. 'Hamas affirms that Sheikh Hassan is held in poor detention conditions, cut off from the outside world, and has no means of communication with any local or international press outlets.' The original comments were provided to this masthead on Tuesday by Yousef's political office in Beitunia, a town near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, which issues statements on his behalf. Contacted on Thursday, a spokesperson for the office confirmed it had released the statement and that Youssef was still in jail, but said he was expected to be released soon. 'Hamas do not want a two-state solution,' Albanese told reporters at a press conference in Moreton Bay, Queensland. 'What they want is one state and I notice in the statement that's made today, they say that the alleged statement from the person yesterday [came from] someone who's been in prison in Israel since October 2023, and has no means of communication. 'What that should be is a warning to the media of being very careful about the fact that Hamas will engage in propaganda because what is happening is the international community are united about isolating Hamas, about supporting a peaceful way forward.'
