He is receiving his full consular assistance entitlements. They are scant. What I think about him isn't the point here, what needs to be understood is that he is entitled to help from the embassy, and though said through gritted teeth, no Australian Minister for foreign affairs has ever said they are denying him support, and have said in very luke-warm voice they confirm he is being offered them.
They don't amount to much. They confirm he has access to a lawyer. They confirm his state of health. They can't get him out of Belmarsh, or prevent the extradition.
