James Ricketson, 68, will have to wait until January 31 for his bail hearing to again be heard in Cambodia's Supreme Court.
Cambodian authorities are investigating Mr Ricketson over his alleged links to the country's now-disbanded opposition party, which has been accused of attempting to overthrow the country's strongman Prime Minister Hun Sen.
In June, Mr Ricketson was arrested and accused of spying after a drone was flown over a political rally.
He was sent to the notorious Prey Sar prison, in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh.
Mr Ricketson, who has traveled to Cambodia numerous times over the past 20 years, was filming a documentary about communities living in impoverished conditions in the country’s rubbish dumps, according to 9News.
Hun Sen's control over Cambodia is stronger than ever following the systematic removal of his rivals before a July election.
The crackdown culminated in the dissolution of the main opposition party in November, a move lambasted by western democracies as a naked power grab by the strongman, who is determined to extend his 32-year rule.
"I have a right to free speech under the Cambodian constitution," he said as he was led from the country's Supreme Court.
"I would like to think the Australian government would defend my right to free speech."
