Tasker remains on $200 000 bail with a surety; his passport remains in the custody of the court; he continues to report to the Glebe Police Station, The Glebe, St George every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday and is on a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale and Senior Crown Counsel Oliver Thomas are representing the Government, while Tasker is represented by Queen’s Counsel Andrew Pilgrim and attorney Neville Reid.
