The Australian Wikileaks Party Senate campaign was launched on Saturday (6 April 2013) in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The Campaign manager is Greg Barnes, and the party’s secretary is John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father. The party is a welcome entry into the Australian political landscape, bringing a whole new dimension of openness and a unique style of politics. It is a politics that engages with some of the urgent challenges of a period dominated by information technology and the new power relationships enabled by it. As a house of review, a Wikileaks representative is well-suited for the Australian Senate.
The Party has a website. The accepted members will develop their social media strategy over the coming months.
