Ellis to apply for bail

Convicted child abuser Peter Ellis wants to get out of jail on bail. On Friday, lawyer Judith Ablett-Kerr announced Governor-General Sir Michael Hardie Boys had given permission for Ellis's case to go the Appeal Court. Yesterday, Mrs Ablett-Kerr said it would take some time to apply for bail because of legal procedures. However, she would contact Justice Minister Doug Graham to try other ways to free Ellis.
