10. Alan Jones interviews Mr Christensen on Return Feb 29

Overview in 2GB (837AM)

Alan and George talk about many things including:
– trials and tribulations just getting to see Julian in Belmarsh Prison.
– a fellow prison who points to Julian when he walks in and says very loudly to Andrew and George “They’re doing really bad stuff to him. They’re doing really bad stuff to him, mate. He shouldn’t really be here.”
– the role Scott Morrison could play

Editors Note: Alan Jones mistakenly refers to rape charges being dropped. No charges were ever made in the Swedish investigation.
