The partner, who is not the victim in the matter, seemed surprised by the direction, saying "what, cause I said I love you? What a joke" as she walked out.

Justin Campbell, 37, of Nelson Street, Raglan, was appearing via audio-visual link (AVL) before visiting magistrate Elizabeth Ellis, making a release application after pleading guilty to contravening a prohibition/restriction in an AVO.

Campbell's solicitor, Ken Lambeth, asked the court if his client's partner could come into the courtroom, and Ms Ellis agreed, provided she "sits up the back".

As the woman walked in, she yelled out to the court: "I'm here, Justin. I love you."

Ms Ellis immediately told her to leave, saying she had allowed her to be in the court, but she was "not allowed to make that very inappropriate comment".

Once the woman left, Ms Ellis turned to Campbell on the AVL and told him she did not hold this against him, and would be dealing with his bail application as if it the outburst had "never happened".

She said he should hold no fears his partner's behaviour will have "any influence" on her decision.

Police prosecutor, Sergeant Sean Ruming, told the court the crown opposed bail for the safety of the victim in the matter.

However, Mr Lambeth said his instructions were his client had no idea where the victim would be found.

He said his client had pleaded guilty and accepted responsibility for his actions, and the threats were made over phone or email.

"He has no idea where the victim physically is," Mr Lambeth said.

He said his client had just purchased a property in Nelson Street, Raglan, where he resided with his partner.

He said his client was prepared to put up $20,000 surety and report to police every day.

Mr Lambeth said a bail condition not to consume drugs or alcohol would reduce the likelihood of Campbell re-offending.

Ms Ellis said she was prepared to grant bail, but with strict conditions: that Campbell not leave his property between the hours of 8pm and 8am and have no contact with the victim, which included text messages and all forms of social media.

She ordered a sentencing assessment report, with the matter back before the court on May 11.
