Pusey 'miffed' about Vic police charges

Richard Pusey is back behind bars questioning why police keep bringing charges against him.

The 44-year-old didn't oppose an application by police to revoke his bail during a hearing in Sunshine Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Pusey, who began the hearing by telling the court his pronouns are now they/them, said he "absolutely" intends to fight the latest charges.

He's accused of using a telecommunications device to menace and committing offences while on bail.

Appearing over the phone from prison, Pusey questioned why he was in court.

"(Victoria Police Association secretary) Wayne Gatt made a statement saying justice for people like Richard Pusey isn't done in courts," he said.

"So where is it done?"

He described Mr Gatt has the head of the police family and said his "family members" kept authorising charges against him be sent to prosecutors.

"It doesn't really make sense - it seems contradictory to what Mr Gatt said when he said justice for people like me isn't done in courts," he said.

"I'm a bit miffed about why I keep being brought into a courthouse."

Four police officers were killed when they were struck and killed by a truck while impounding a Porsche driven by Pusey in April 2020.

It was Victoria Police's single greatest loss of life.

Magistrate Cynthia Lynch adjourned his case until March 23.
