Salim Mehajer refused bail amendments including being allowed on social media

Salim Mehajer won't be back on his beloved Instagram anytime soon, after a judge threw out a bid to have his bail conditions changed.

The controversial Sydney identity and former deputy mayor, 33, was seeking to return to social media, have wifi at home, be allowed to hire a personal assistant and buy new property.

All requests were denied by a judge today.

Mr Mehajer was seen carrying a wad of $50 notes wrapped in paper into Parramatta court today.

He refused to comment what the cash was for.

Mr Mehajer is currently fighting allegations he staged a 2017 car crash just before he was supposed to appear in court.

His trial will begin later this year.
