Mr Smith asked if he could stand it down until tomorrow until he got a duty lawyer.

"This is a bit unfair don't you think, last time the duty lawyer said because I don't have cash up front for a surety she walked straight out," he said.

Mr Stanton said he was not there to talk about what was fair or unfair with the lawyers.

"Even with a surety I am not prepared to give you bail," he said.

"I'll adjourn the matters so you can get advice and enter pleas."

"Yes till when," Mr Smith said.

"How long do you need," he said.

"Tomorrow," Mr Smith said.

"Not tomorrow, you won't be able to talk about things between now and then realistically," Mr Stanton said.

"You could get me a lawyer to come in this afternoon," Mr Smith said.

"I can't control the lawyers," Mr Stanton said.

"I know you can't control that but what I am saying is far out I have been incarcerated for two weeks with no legal assistance," he said.

"That's a bit shit don't you think? The whole f---ing system needs, sorry to swear but it's f---ing bullshit," he said.

"I adjourn the complaints until Friday 15 July next at 2.15pm," Mr Stanton said.
