Disgraced former West Australian Labor MP Barry Urban has pleaded not guilty to all 12 charges against him, including five counts of giving false evidence before a parliamentary committee.
Urban, 49, has also been charged with five counts of uttering a forged record, and one count each of attempted fraud and forging a record related to information submitted in WA Police Force applications.
Urban allegedly provided false information about a University of Leeds degree, a University of Portsmouth certificate of higher education, a WA Local Government Association diploma and incorrectly claimed he was part of an international police taskforce in 1998 that investigated atrocities in the Balkans.
He is also accused of trying to gain a benefit of more than $100 a fortnight for working as a detective in 2007.
Urban appeared for the second time in Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday, entered the pleas and had his bail extended.
His bail includes a $20,000 personal undertaking and $20,000 surety.
Urban had his bail conditions tweaked at his first appearance so he could go to Perth Airport for work purposes, but he has previously surrendered both his English and Australian passports.
Outside court, he declined to speak to media.
If convicted, he could face up to seven years imprisonment.
Urban quit the Labor party in December and sat as an independent MP until May.
He resigned as the member for Darling Range after a parliamentary committee found he repeatedly lied about his education and work history.
The committee had made the unprecedented recommendation Urban be expelled for committing a "gross and aggravated contempt of parliament".
He is due in court again for a committal mention on January 23.
