R v Subasic (No 2)

In the case of R v Subasic (No 2), Jeremy William Subasic sought bail pending his re-sentencing following the cancellation of his Drug and Alcohol Treatment Order. Mr Subasic was seeking to attend the Matrix Program run by Karralika Programs Inc, a drug rehabilitation agency. Subasic had a history of drug dependence and criminal activity, and had previously failed to comply with his bail conditions. The court was required to consider the risk of reoffending and the likelihood of Subasic complying with the proposed bail conditions. The court found that Subasic had made substantial efforts at rehabilitation and achieved progress through the completion of the Solaris Therapeutic Community program. While his past behaviour was a concern, the court considered that the changed circumstances and appropriate bail conditions could manage any risk. The court granted bail with strict conditions, including a curfew, restrictions on leaving his residence, and requirements to attend the Matrix Program and report to Belconnen Police Station. The court also required Subasic to submit to urinalysis, drug testing, and breath analysis, and to refrain from consuming alcohol, cannabis, illegal drugs, and possessing firearms or ammunition. The final orders of the court included the specific bail conditions outlined above, and the proceedings were adjourned until 10 February 2023 for sentence.
