new south wales has been described as the "most punitive" state when it comes to amendments to its bail legislation. the bail bill 2010 removed several criteria to ensure the rights of the person accused. alex steel commented that this would make it harder for the person accused to make a case, because prisoners on remand are automatically placed in maximum security. as of 2010, a lobby group called the bail reform alliance campaigned for changes to the law. members of the alliance included the nsw law society, nsw young lawyers, the public service association, the nsw council for civil liberties and the nsw welfare rights centre. a study in 2011 found that between 1999 and 2008, there had been a decline in the percentage of cases where bail was given without any conditions attached. it found that this was not due to a difference in the cases in 2008 from 1999, but instead there was stricter conditions being attached to bail in later years. furthermore, the study pointed out that bail conditions leaves the defendant 'vulnerable to re-arrest' for further offenses or for breaching their bail conditions, and that even when breach of bail conditions does not involve an offense, it often leads to remand.
