I don't know about an airline ban but the length of their sentences would exclude them from e-Visa entry to Australia - for life.
And you don't get told that until you arrive at port of entry.
If you had overlooked that detail then you will probably get turned back onto the next flight out.
They could try their luck with a full visa application but there's no guarantee that they would get one that way either.
I think the USA and Canada have similar restrictions.
