\par 
\par That earlier ruling was appealed to the Court of Appeal.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154 
The appeal was rejected as that court was of the view that it could not consider bail appeals on a judge alone basis but had to have them heard in front of the full court.
\par 
\par I am advised by counsel for the applicant that he has subsequently withdrawn that appeal from the Court of Appeal.
\par 
\par In its place he has filed a fresh application before me.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154

\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154 Without a change in the applicant circumstance the court should not properly re-consider its earlier decisions.
\par 
\par In my earlier decision I detailed the principles relating to bail applications generally and my particular reasons for refusing bail.
\par 
\par A significant reason I refused bail on the last occasion was the casual manner the applicant had towards her instructions to counsel and consequently advice to the court concerning her involvement in this major production of illicit drugs.}{

Her attitude gave me absolutely no confidence that her bond could be trusted and that therefore she would not answer to bail when called upon or indeed comply with any reasonable conditions imposed.
\par 
\par In terms of her changed circumstances I now have two affidavits before me from her relatives.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154

I pause here to immediately note and direct that the names of the children or anything leading to their identification, residence or schooling are permanently suppressed and not to be the subject of publication.
\par 
\par The affidavits expressed concern about the ongoing care of the two children.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154 Mother and father are in jail.}{

 both children exhibit overt and subtle psychological patterns distinctive of children during prolonged separation from parents.
\par 
\par Somewhat predictably the doctor is concerned at the effect of parental separation is having on these vulnerable children especially in terms of their migrant status and exclusively }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108 C}{

The stress on their extended family care arrangement has the potential of estrangement.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154 
The risk is in the children will be further alienated from what might be considered a norm for a six and a four year olds development.
\par 
\par In a professional sense the report is thin on the impact of prolonged separation on the children.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13597108  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3954408\charrsid8668154 
However, for present purposes I am prepared to infer that the absence of both parents is a genuine psycho-social and developmental concern of sufficient impact to impress me as a changed circumstance.
