It seems that not much happened at his court hearing today. Appears he has to come back again later in the month.
Also, his wife took out an AVO on him this time and the court today ruled to include their son under the AVO, so Lui now won't be allowed near either of them.
It seems to me that she's not going to drop the charges this time.

WEST Tigers bad boy Robert Lui has faced court for the second time in 12 months on charges of assaulting his girlfriend.
Lui, 21, faced Burwood Local Court charged with assaulting his girlfriend at his house in North Strathfield last month, three days after the team was eliminated from the
NRL finals.
Taleah Rae Backo suffered bruising to her face and Lui was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
It is the second time in 12 months that Lui has been charged with assaulting Ms Backo.
He was slapped with nine charges after allegedly attacking the then-pregnant woman in September last year.
Those charges were withdrawn in April.
After the recent charges, Backo took out an apprehended domestic violence order against the footballer, who is suspended from the club until the charges are finalised.
During a brief mention of the matter today, police requested the name of a child be added to the violence order.
Outside court, Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys said the club was monitoring the proceedings.
Asked if the club was frustrated by the headlines about bad behaviour, Mr Humphreys said: "It's not ideal, but these things happen."
Asked if the club was concerned that it was paying a player now twice charged with assaulting his girlfriend, Mr Humphreys said: "The previous charges were withdrawn and we'll see what happens with these charges."
The NRL club will make a determination on the player's future when the court rules on the charges, he said.
"We will continue to monitor the legal situation and make a comment when it is appropriate."
The matter returns to court later this month.
