The boost to court funding will reduce workloads in addition to easing pressures in the South Australian court system – and includes $339,000 for the state’s Youth Court and $939,000 for the Coroner’s Court. Furthermore, almost $1 million will go to managing offenders across South Australia, being spent on 100 electronic monitoring devices.
