She also said she would likely apply for bail on her client’s behalf on that day.
Talbot was arrested after allegedly driving his Land Cruiser through Six Tanks on Mitchell St in the early hours of December 6.
Three people, Wade Hunter, 32, Karlla Garling, 30, and Joseph Hazelbane, 32, have been charged with allegedly attacking Talbot minutes before he allegedly drove into the front door of the pub.
The trio have each been charged with engaging in violent conduct and fighting in public before police also charged them with aggravated assault late last month.
