Foreign Minister Bob Carr insists Julian Assange's asylum application to Ecuador has nothing to with the Australian government ...

'If the US were pursuing extradition of Julian Assange they could do it just as easily - according to some experts more easily - from the United Kingdom ... than from Sweden,' he told ABC Radio on Thursday.

The foreign minister says the Australian high commissioner in London had spoken to the Ecuadorian embassy where Mr Assange is staying.

'Throughout this we've given him the sort of consular support that flows to any Australian in trouble in a foreign jurisdiction.'
