The NSW government is actively preparing to implement significant bail law reforms aimed at enhancing the protection of women from domestic violence. These reforms include a presumption against bail for alleged domestic violence offenders and the potential use of electronic monitoring for those released while awaiting trial. NSW Premier Chris Minns expressed confidence that his cabinet would approve these robust new measures, which are being considered in response to serious domestic violence offenses. Additionally, the reforms are partially motivated by the tragic death of Molly Ticehurst, which has intensified calls for stricter legal provisions.
