1) The quote from the Sun H is rubbish, so fits the tone of the paper suitably

2) The seperate matter of an Australian citizen being held for 4(?) years without charge (let alone trial!) is shameful, and our government should hang it's head in shame for allowing this to occur.

3) The matter of his guilt or innocence is not something that we can/should decide here - it needs to be decided in an appropriate forum, somewhere, and soon!

No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.
Article 39 (my bolding)
