		ssharwood on Jan 30, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Julian Assange to run for Australian Senate Assange announced this in early 2012, then again late in 2012 and then again today to co-incide with the announcement of Australia's September 14 election. So yes, by all means, let's give the same piece of news coverage for a a THIRD TIME. There's VALUE in that aggregation.

Saying 'I might run for the Senate' is different to the announcement of a federal election and then confirming that yes, he definitely will run.

If you don't think that's newsworthy, aaaaah, you're nuts.
