Michael Slater collapses in court after being refused bail

Former Australian Test cricketer Michael Slater has collapsed in court after being refused bail in a Sunshine Coast court. Slater is facing 19 charges relating to alleged offences perpetrated on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on various dates between December 5, 2023 and April 12 this year. The 54-year-old was represented by a Legal Aid duty lawyer in applying for bail in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Tuesday after a brief mention in the same court the previous day.

Police confirmed they arrested a 54-year-old Noosa Heads man at a Sunshine Coast address on Friday following alleged domestic violence incidents over several days. Slater was remanded in custody with his case due to be mentioned in the same court on May 31. He collapsed on Tuesday while being taken away by guards. After making his debut during the 1993 Ashes tour, Slater played 74 Tests for Australia, amassing 5312 runs at an average of 42.83 with 14 tons.
