Episode Details

Tasmania’s court system is in crisis, dragging on cases for years and leaving victims of family violence trapped in unbearable limbo—like Mary, who’s waited over two years with no end in sight, calling it “diabolical.” With cases averaging 14 appearances before resolution—the worst in Australia—and a steep drop in Magistrates Court efficiency since 2015, delays are inflicting fresh trauma. A damning new report has delivered a clear reform blueprint, and the government has embraced 19 of 20 recommendations, including tech upgrades and plea incentives, while tackling broken evidence disclosure. The Law Society calls it a roadmap for change, and the Attorney-General promises immediate action—because for survivors like Mary, time is running out.
