This is the best summary I could come up with:
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has landed in Australia, ending the former fugitive's decade-long diplomatic saga.
As he stepped off the plane, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, speaking from parliament, welcomed his return.
"Earlier tonight I was pleased to speak to Mr Assange to welcome him home and had the opportunity to ask him about his health and have my first discussion with him," he said.
Mr Albanese said Assange expressed "praise" for the Australian government's efforts in returning him home, saying it took patient diplomacy.
Earlier on Wednesday, Assange pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy with a sentence of "time already served", in a deal that concluded the United States' pursuit of him for more than a decade.
The US had sought Assange's extradition from the United Kingdom since 2012 over the publication of classified US military intelligence through WikiLeaks.
