Re: Prince Andrew bailed up by Police

Is 'bailed' an Aussie word, Higgy? I am unfamiliar with its use in this context. I bailed hundreds of prisoners in my previous life, i.e. I admitted them to bail. I explained top them -
"Bail is a promise. You are promising me that you will turn up at court or at the police station. If you break that promise, it will have consequences. If you do turn up, then it won't cost you anything"
