Australia has no issue with Julian Assange returning to his home country if his massive extradition battle with the United States government is resolved in his favour.

A UK judge has ruled the WikiLeaks founder should not be extradited to the United States to face espionage charges due to concerns about his mental health and U.S. jail conditions.
