The 54-year-old who has featured for Australia in 74 Tests from 1993 to 2001, has been accused of a series of offences, in💯cluding burglary and assault. 

Slater is also alleged to have stalked a woman, and sent her messages - many of which were rep♏orted abusive. 

The condition of the case escalated when she received a security camera notification showing Slater breaking into her home after a complaint was filed at the police station.&nbs๊p;

On Tuesday, August 20, the Supreme Court in Brisbane understood that Slater had been in 130-day custody, followin🃏g a previous bail denial four months ago. 

Greg McQuire, Slater’s lawyer argued there was a “real danger” that Slat🍒er could spend “too much time in custody” before the case is resolved. 

He also put forward a plan for his ✨client’s release, which included alc🌸ohol prohibition, stay at a rehab centre as well as an eventual stay with his sister in New South Wales.

Despite the argu𒆙ments, the bail was rejected. Slate🌜r, who played 42 ODIs for Australia, will remain in custody.
