We know the court system and lawyers continue to feel pressure due to the crime crisis left behind after Labor's eight years in office.
The Finocchiaro CLP Government is now keeping more offenders off our streets to keep our community safe.
Our stronger laws mean that if you're a serious offender you will be apprehended, and not out on our streets committing more crimes.
Our Corrections Infrastructure Plan continues to roll out, and we are working in lockstep with the courts, Corrections, and Police to fix Labor's longstanding failures in this space.
Measures to tackle increased demand already include three new Acting Judges, a reduced closure period over the Christmas and New Year period, and lifting the Darwin Local Court prisoner cap, enabling more daily bail and arrest matters to be heard.
The CLP makes no apologies for strengthening bail laws to protect Territorians.
Increased arrests are proof less offenders are out in our community to commit more crimes.
If you do the wrong thing, you will go to jail.
If you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about.
We express our gratitude to the dedicated professionals working in the courts, Corrections and law enforcement.
