The Courts Minister is chuffed at improvements to the backlog in Auckland's criminal district courts.  

The latest Government figures show a 26% reduction over the past year, with an 11% reduction nationally. 

Since April 2023, the number of jury trials awaiting hearings in Auckland has dropped by 8%.  

Minister Nicole McKee told Mike Hosking she's confident they're making good changes for victims and people entering the court system.
