Julian Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy since June and is expected to be granted Asylum next week.
Equator a small and beautiful Andean Nation will be Julian's his new home.
There is no news of the asylum application of the equally controversial ex spy Andrea Davison. Peter Eyre has written a series of articles about Andrea but it is difficult to know how much is true and how much is false because it was well known Andrea sued Peter Eyre over libel and won never the less here is a link to the articles as they are interesting http://eyreinternational.wordpress.com/2012/08/05/what-do-julian-assange-and-andrea-davison-have-in-common-final-part-4/
Julian Assange is maligned in Eyre's articles as a CIA asset. But CIA Assets do not get arrested or persecuted in the way Assange and Davison have been; sometimes assets like Bin Laden are taken out but never arrested.
What is certain is that both Julian Assange and Andrea Davidson are innocent and they have started what will no doubt become an avalanche of people in the UK seeking political Asylum to escape the Police State Britain has become.
Mr Assange, 41, who was born in Townsville in 1971, lived on Magnetic Island with his mother Christine. He has described growing up on the island as being akin to "Tom Sawyer."
Islanders are hosting a picnic at Picnic Bay on Sunday, to voice their support for the freedom of information fighter and have made a decision to erect a statue in his honour.
Local activist David "Crusty" Herron, who in the past has floated the idea of Wikileaks-inspired public urinal in the past, believed a proper monument was still a good idea.
"He's an award-winning journalist, who has shown the little bloke that he can't be pushed around," he said.
When Julian has been granted Asylum by Equator how will he actually reach his new home? That has yet to be seen. Will Julkian and Andrea be dining together soon with a Andean View
