The mother of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange wants Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard to make a full apology to her son amid growing international praise of his work.

Mr Assange this week became only the third person in 14 years to be awarded the Sydney Peace Foundation's gold medal - an award previously given only to the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and Japanese Buddhist leader Daisaku Ikeda.

Ms Gillard has personally labelled the release of documents by WikiLeaks as "illegal" and "grossly irresponsible". An Australian Federal Police investigation found WikiLeaks had broken no domestic law.

In a statement Ms Assange added: "It would appear that the prime minister is not only uninformed about one of her own highly honoured citizens but also completely out of step with prevailing world opinion."

5. She is right to demand an apology from the PM. She revealed herself

to be nothing more than a puppet of this government ~

7. A list of governments that are NOT puppets of the US

would be a short list, indeed. And I would bet that anyone on that list either doesn't have any resources that we covet or they're not strategically located somewhere that furthers our interests.

Good for Ms. Assange! Her son is heads above our own Nobel Laureate, who seems to be busily promoting the abrogation of human rights here and elsewhere in the world. Bleh!
