"The Attorney-General welcomed the swearing in of four NT Magistrates as part of a new agreement between the Northern Territory, West Australian and South Australian governments to deliver seamless justice across state and territory borders.
Ms Lawrie said the new cross border justice agreement applies to the central east and southern Northern Territory, Western Australia’s Ngaanyatjarra Lands and South Australia’s APY Lands.
“This is an historic agreement and an Australian first that addresses the issues and challenges of delivering justice in remote communities,” Ms Lawrie said."
