The New South Wales (NSW) government is preparing to implement urgent bail law reforms aimed at better protecting women from domestic violence. Premier Chris Minns is confident that his cabinet will approve these robust new laws, which include a presumption against bail for alleged domestic violence offenders and electronic monitoring if they are released while awaiting trial. These changes come in response to the death of Molly Ticehurst and are part of a broader effort to make it more difficult for alleged offenders to obtain bail.
