This Bill is opportune. The Court of Appeal created a very valuable additional structure within our courts to try to deal with the volume of cases where people were not happy with the outcome, given the issues with the Supreme Court. It is only appropriate that we would resource it properly to ensure there are no unnecessary delays, and we know there have been delays, from what the Minister has told us and from our own information. I agree with the sentiments of Senator Clifford-Lee in the sense that justice delayed is justice denied, which is true. This Bill is welcome and I hope it will pass quickly.
