Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said he will not take a more forthright public position in the case of WikiLeaks founder and Australian citizen Julian Assange.

The move comes amid mounting calls for the Australian government to intervene in the extradition of Assange to the United States where he is convicted of 18 charges, including hacking and espionage.
