The Australian Government is seeking an end to the imprisonment of Julian Assange in the UK.

The Australian citizen and WikiLeaks founder has been incarcerated while the US seeks to extradite him on charges relating to the publishing of classified information about the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Anthony Albanese hasn't been able to find a "diplomatic solution" to the Assange case while in London for the Coronation.

But UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Roman Travers that there is some positive news.

He says that for the first time both Australia's leader and opposition leader has called for his imprisonment to come to an end.
