Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME

Labour's promising a justice system shake-up, with the party saying it'll streamline the process for people to take legal action.  The party claims it'll be a more cost-effective way for groups of people to take legal action together by establishing a class actions regime.  Labour's Justice spokesperson Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking that this has worked overseas.  She says for example, it's good for small investors who get "done over" by a big company.  It also wants to investigate the threshold for jury trials and increase the uptake of audio-visual technology in courts, to try to speed up hearings.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
