The son of alleged Nazi war criminal Charles Zentai says he is doubtful about his father's chances of successfully fighting extradition to Hungary to face war crimes.
Mr Zentai, aged 86, is accused of torturing and killing a Jewish man in Budapest during World War II.
Mr Zentai took his fight against the extradition application to the High Court, but it was rejected in April.
He made a brief appearance in court today and his bail was extended until August 18, when he will appear in court again to continue fighting the extradition over three days.
His son, Ernie Steiner, says the family wants the matter to be resolved soon.
"It'll all be happening on the 18th, 19th and 20th," he said.
"No, no we're not confident, but we hope for the best."
