WikiLeaks Party to be launched this week

PuZZleDucK writes: The ABC (audio) and the Canberra Times (text) are reporting on Greg Barns and Julian Assange teaming up to form the WikiLeaks Party. From the article:

Mr Barns said on Monday he had agreed to be the WikiLeaks Party campaign director following conversations with Mr Assange, who has announced he will run for a Senate seat in Victoria in the September 14 federal election.

''The party will offer a refreshing change from the Australian government culture of secrecy, whether Labor or Liberal,'' he said.
