Australian leaders celebrate Julian Assange's freedom but opposition says he is 'no martyr'
Julian Assange spent his first night in Australia in 14 years after being freed by a US court. He returned to an enthusiastic welcome but faces caution from the conservative opposition, who oppose labeling him a hero. Assange's wife, Stella, emphasized his plans for normalcy: swimming daily, enjoying real food, and relishing freedom. Despite calls for a presidential pardon, concerns persist over his past legal battles and guilty plea to espionage-related charges, impacting Australia's relations with the US.
