I think he is viewed very positively. Australians appreciate law and order but we also love to see a rebel break through and restore common sense once in a while. Australia has been a loyal US ally historically and so our politicians avoid criticizing US as not to jeopardize that relationship. It's been a thorny issue in the relationship though as it has made our politicians look weak/cowardly whenever the topic of Assange was approached.
