The case illustrates the application of the show cause requirement under s 16B(1)(h) of the Bail Act 2013 (NSW) where an applicant faces proceeds of crime charges committed while on parole, has an extensive criminal history of non-compliance with bail and parole, and relies on witnesses whose credibility is substantially undermined. The Crown's concession regarding the need to identify the class of indictable offence for s 193B(3) charges (per Chen v DPP (Cth)) did not prevent refusal of bail where viable alternative charges under s 193C remained.
