The sentencing follows Labe's pleading guilty to "Causing Harm To A Commonwealth Public Official" in a hearing on 18 January this year.
It was heard that the DJ followed Abbott for about 250 metres and offered to shake his hand before assaulting him on 21 September 2017.
Both Abbott and Labe are yet to comment on the sentencing.
