Julian Assange has been told to stop using the Ecuadorean embassy in London to poke fun at Australian politicians as part of his Senate election bid, it has been reported.

The South American nation's president, Rafael Correa, chastised Assange after a video appeared online in which the WikiLeaks founder – along with Juice Rap News – ridiculed Tony Abbott, Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.

"We have sent him a letter: he can campaign politically, but without making fun of Australian politicians. We are not going to allow that," said Correa, who is attending a South American summit in the Surinamese capital Paramarimbo.

Assange appeared wearing a comedy wig and bandanna emblazoned with the Australian flag in the video. He also performed a cover version of John Farnham's You're the Voice.

2. Julian Assange told to stop using Ecuadorean Embassy to make fun of politicians.

Like a vulgar hippie Julian Assange has dedicated his time to make fun of passing Australian politicians. Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for over a year. He has a rape case pending in Sweden.

Assange has been told to "stop making fun of Australian politicians" passing by the Ecuadorean Embassy.

No Embassy should have to be subject to that kind of behavior, anywhere. Assange should be told by Ecuador President Rafael Correa to stop his shameful behavior or leave the U.K.
