MAJOR DISTRICT COURT FUNDING BOOST
Monday, 07 December 2015Member of the Legislative Council Natasha Maclaren-Jones has today welcomed the NSW Government’s announcement of a comprehensive $20 million package to slash the NSW District Court backlog by more than 600 criminal trials over the next two years.
Mrs Maclaren-Jones said this is great news for communities across NSW that will benefit from better access to fast and fair justice.
“Delays are disproportionately represented in regional communities and affect confidence in the administration of justice,” Mrs Maclaren-Jones said.
