No. Only the prosecutor can.

The victim has no right of audience, but he can and should express his misgivings and apprehensions to the prosectution, so that they can be integrated into the prosecutor's submissions to the Court. The fear that an accused person may interfere with prosecution witnesses (of whom the victim is one) is one of the standard arguments against the granting of bail. If a victim has well grounded fears of being molested in some way, then the Court will normally include among any conditions of bail some means of keeping the defendant away -- such as a condition not to go to certain places or not to approach within a certain distance of the victim or the victim's home.

I suggest you speak to your witness care officer as soon as possible - as a victim you can't make representation to object to bail, but the Prosecution can on your behalf.
The witness care officer can make your feelings known by sending whats called 'a problem' up...basically this outlines how if bail was granted it could affect the victims lifestyle.
Do it as soon as possible as JIC bail can be applied for with as little as 24 hours notice so your feelings need to be attached to the file asap.
I recently had to make sure a 'problem' was attached to protect a young victim of a sexual assault encountering her attacker in the street when he applied for bail - he didn't get the bail!!

Hi Samual.
Unfortunately no, but you can raise your concerns with prosecuting council who may object to bail being granted based on your concerns.
