It's an appalling way to develop legislation, and if this Government really wants New Zealanders to think that they are all about solving long-term problems that affect our communities, then they would do well to actually take their time, because these problems are not new. There are 8,000 additional delayed cases compared to March 2020. That's a lot, but it's not because of COVID; it's actually because the court system appears to be under-resourced and to be operating in what appear to be archaic modes of working. They don't appear to have an effective programme management system that enables them to move resources or move court hearings around, and if they're insisting on still sending notices to people by mail when most people rely on electronic communication, it's probably not this piece of legislation that's going to solve the problem of access to justice for people who need to get to court, either as defendants or as witnesses or as jurors or as victims during this period—which may well only go on for a few more weeks—of a COVID pandemic response.
