Looks like the only thing they found him being guilty of was of not being a total nutcase. I reckon a Taliban Visa would mean a One-Way Gita Bay trip as well.
I have had your photoshop job of the suspicous poster up at work (.gov.au) for about a year now. It's still sitting on the staff notice board (we're all lefties, including the boss and the big boss).
I have posted on this today also. I may have mentioned that Joseph is a (distant) family friend and this entire shemozzle has been a disaster from go to whoa. With a happy ending, however.
You may be very happy to know that he has walked free, after the judge ordered his immediate release (doubtless taking into account the nine months behind bars, and all the rest of it, as being sufficient punishment.)
I've never met the guy, but I wish him luck - he may or may not be the type I'd be good friends with, but there's no doubt in my mind that he got the rough end of the stick.
