KEY independent MP and former whistleblower Andrew Wilkie has accused Julia Gillard of trashing freedom of speech and ignoring Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's right to be presumed innocent.

As the fallout from the WikiLeaks revelations continues, the Tasmanian federal crossbencher also said today the Prime Minister had shown contempt for the principles of the rule of law, sovereignty and freedom of speech.

But Mr Wilkie declared this morning that "in talking about 'illegal acts', the Prime Minister has ignored Mr Assange's presumption of innocence and potentially comprised any chance of a fair trial, if in fact he is even charged over publishing this information".

"Moreover, Julia Gillard has shown contempt for Australia's sovereignty by defaulting to the interests of the United States of America above the interests of an Australian citizen.
