New bail laws came into effect on 28 January 2015 in New South Wales. One of the first defendants to be covered is a man who is already serving a prison term for making a death threat, but has become eligible for parole. He now faces charges stemming from a separate incident, of shooting with intent to murder, assaulting with intent to rob, and damaging property. The accused has sought conditional release, but this has been denied by District Court judge Gordon Lerve. The latter noted however that he would not have granted bail under the old laws either
