Julian Assange walks free with conclusion of court case in Saipan

The judge said "it appears this case ends with me here in Saipan.” As this is in the context of the US case, I read that as precluding any further legal action from the USA. Also that as a condition of his plea bargain is indefinitely barred from entering the US. His flight from the UK to Saipan and onward home was not permitted to be on commercial flights; there is an active fundraiser to foot his 500K$ transport bill. So what conditions are waiting for him in his native Australia, and how free will he be to move?
