Qld: Justice review overdue: Opposition

The Queensland opposition has described a wide-ranging review of the state's justice
system as long-overdue.

Shadow Attorney General MARK McARDLE says Queensland currently has the most inefficient
court system in Australia .. with more than 60 thousand criminal and civil cases caught
up in the justice gridlock last year.

He says the review is long overdue after years of neglect.

The review .. to be overseen by former senior judge MARTIN MOYNIHAN QC .. will examine
aspects of the justice system and identify practical improvements to resolve cases more
quickly and fairly.
