Daniel Andrews has rebuffed an ultimatum by the Greens to overhaul the state’s bail laws within three months, and ruled out reinstating the presumption in favour of bail for all Victorians accused of a crime.

As parliament resumed on Tuesday, the Greens introduced a private member’s bill to overhaul the state’s bail laws, declaring they would bring it to a vote if the government doesn’t introduce its own reforms in the next three months.
