The Prime Minister Julia Gillard says Australia will provide consular services to Julian Assange, who has lost his appeal against extradition to Sweden.
The opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop said the Australian government must provide unqualified support for Mr Assange in consular terms.
“He deserves and should receive the same level of consular support that any Australian citizen should expect in these circumstances,” Ms Bishop said.
Swedish prosecutors have sought Assange’s extradition from the UK so he can be questioned about claims by two women that they were sexually assaulted by Assange in Stockholm in August 2010.
