The evaluation has been conducted by researchers at the Cairns Institute, James Cook University. The Department of Justice and Attorney General (Qld) (DJAG) commissioned the evaluation. Data on JP Courts and Their Sentences (Chapter 2) Indigenous JP Courts dealt with 5210 matters, including bail, remand, committals, adjournments, etc over the three year period 2007-2009. Half these matters (2612) involved sentencing by the JP Courts. The majority of sentencing matters derived from a few courts: Kowanyama (30%) and Mornington Island (29%). Overall 94% of sentenced matters were in five courts (Kowanyama, Mornington Island, Woorabinda, Aurukun and Cherbourg). Gender is an important consideration in the work of the JP Courts: the majority of sentenced matters involved Indigenous women (57%), and this proportion was greater in JP Courts using by- laws. Council by-laws accounted for 42.1% of all sentenced matters. The Liquor Act and the Summary Offences Act accounted for 19.3% and 17.6% of sentenced matters respectively. Communities with by-laws (Kowanyama, Woorabinda and Cherbourg) rely heavily on by- law offences for the JP Courts. School attendance is a major by-law offence, particularly in Kowanyama and Woorabinda. Some 71.7% of penalties imposed by the JP courts involved a monetary fine. Nearly 70% of fines were between $100 and $500. A further 12.4% of fines were over $500. Some 26.2% of sentencing matters were dealt with ex parte. There were 154 applications for orders, 92% involved applications for domestic violence orders. Analysis of re-offending showed there was no difference in the rate of offending before and after JP court intervention. However the conclusions that can be drawn from these results are inconclusive given the absence of a control group, and the short pre and post test period. Recommendation 1 It is recommended that DJAG develop separate identifiers within QWIC to differentiate the activities of JP magistrates and JP (Quals) conducting bail courts, and that a database be developed to identify the JPs sitting in each court for the purposes of training and support. Support for the JP Courts (Chapter 3) There is widespread support for the continued operation of the JP Court program. In terms of overarching program objectives, the program works best as an alternative to mainstream justice and in building community capacity to own local solutions to offending within communities. The program has been less successful in building partnerships. Page | 5 The general support for the JP Court program is often based on its potential to lead to positive outcomes, rather than always due to tangible benefits delivered to date. Whilst JP Courts should be retained, more work is required to ensure that the program can work at maximum effectiveness and realise its great potential - on those communities where it is currently functioning and, with sufficient capacity developed, on communities where it has yet to be formally established. Page | 6 Recommendation 2 It is recommended that the JP Court program be retained and ultimately expanded to other communities. However, prior to any expansion of the program, it needs to better supported in those communities where it has been operating. Increasing the numbers of JP magistrates (Chapter 4) A fundamental issue impacting upon the program’s immediate and longer-term capacity is the lack of JP magistrates available to constitute JP Court. Problems include potential loss of commitment to the program by JPs and other stakeholders. In more than one instance a functioning JP Court has ceased to operate, at least in the short term, due to a shortage of JP magistrates. Initial JP training provided by DJAG is not sufficiently frequent to build and maintain JP magistrate numbers. Ideally, there should be enough JP magistrates (with a focus upon Indigenous magistrates) available to participate in JP Court on a rotational, rostered basis. Further, there are significant problems with retention of JP magistrates. Problems relevant to recruitment and retention include lack of ongoing DJAG training sessions for all JP magistrates; minimal support; the need for updated training materials and lists of qualified JPs on Indigenous communities; and poor resourcing of the Courts Innovation Directorate as administrators of the program. More financial and other resources are required to address these issues and thereby build program capacity. Recommendation 3 It is recommended that DJAG provide for increased frequency of JP training for individuals on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities seeking to qualify as JP Magistrates as well as more frequent in-service training and support. Training should be provided in community as well as centrally. Recommendation 4 It is recommended that DJAG increase resources provided to the Courts Innovation Directorate to enable increased capacity to deliver training and ongoing support though the appointment of additional training and support officers and an increased budget for training and community education. To administer the program more effectively there is also a need for improved DJAG record keeping of current, qualified JP magistrates.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 14 April 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 07 April to Tuesday 14 April 2009 Give us a chance: WITH France joining Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand to make up an international quad-nations series this year, Fiji Bati centre Darryl Millard has called on the Pacific Nations to be considered too. After the 2008 Rugby League World Cup shake up of the international calendar by the Rugby League International Federation, it has been proposed that a Pacific Cup be held this year. The winner of the tournament enters the 2010 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (consisting of Australia, New Zealand, England and a qualifying nation). A Pacific Cup is also proposed to be held in 2011. Jones not available for Kiwis: He still has that magic touch but little general Stacey Jones has ruled himself out of contention for New Zealand's clash with Australia next month at Lang Park. The scheming halfback said he would not be available for selection for the Brisbane match which takes place on May 8, the day after his 33rd birthday. After one year out of rugby league, Jones made a shock return to the NRL this season and has shown he still has a knack for creating tries. Linwood win 17-try see-saw: Former Warrior Kane Ferris scored a match-winning try on the stroke of fulltime as the Linwood Keas snuck home in a 94-point rugby league thriller against east-side arch rival Aranui. Linwood's Canterbury Bulls hooker Nathan Sherlock and Aranui Eagles back Tim Rangihuna both scored four tries as the Keas clung to a 48-46 victory at Rugby League Park on Saturday.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 10 August 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 04 August to Monday 10 August 2009 Bargain Bryson holds hopes for Kiwis payoff: Three Goodwin boys have played in the NRL. There was Luke, who was with the Western Reds; Bronx, the Canberra fullback sacked after a pub incident; and now Bryson, the bargain Bulldogs wing with the millionaire performances. And yet 23-year-old Bryson, with 16 tries in 17 games this season, is the only one who hasn't worn a New Zealand representative jumper. Last year, when Luke coached the Maori team and Bronx played fullback, there was no younger brother. League may hit hallowed turf: EXCLUSIVE: Australian and New Zealand league officials are expected to meet this week with Eden Park bosses to discuss the possibility of staging a test between the Kangaroos and Kiwis at the hallowed ground next year. Sunday News has been told NRL marketing boss Paul Kind and director of finance Ed Farish who lend their help to the Australian Rugby League when needed will touch down in Auckland in the next 24 hours. It's understood they will hold discussions with new NZRL CEO Jim Doyle and will also meet with Eden Park officials while here. Injury curse robs Kiwis of Asotasi again: The 24-test veteran suffered yet another season-ending injury last night, damaging the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during South Sydney's upset 36-22 win over defending champions Manly in the National Rugby League (NRL).

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 9 November 2009 RE: Media Summary Monday 2 November to Monday 9 November Kiwis tip Kangaroos to win Four Nations: England may have toppled world champions New Zealand but Australia will be "too good" for the host nation in this weekend's Four Nations rugby league final, according to Kiwis halfback Nathan Fien. Kiwis have no excuses for lack of ball control: You can line up all the excuses you like for the Kiwis, but in the end their defeat by England came down to pretty much one thing: they dropped too much ball… Ground a graveyard for Kiwis: Huddersfield may be the birthplace of rugby league, but it has proved near fatal to New Zealand ambitions on each of their last three visits to the West Yorkshire town… Kiwis crash out of Four Nations Cup: The Kiwis offered no excuses and no complaints after being knocked out of the Four Nations a week early 20-12 by an English side who produced their best performance on the international stage for years… Old boys fight to keep Pirates afloat: In one game it was 76-10; 70-10 in another. It was a dreadful season by anyone's standards… …but a couple of high-profile old boys hope to turn it all around. Awen Guttenbeil and Stacey Jones will coach the Pirates next season… Benji’s Brother in Arms: Clad in green and gold, Benji Marshall stood at North Harbour Stadium before kickoff of the first test between the Australian Schoolboys and the Junior Kiwis and, as the haka began, he made his decision… Mannering to lead Warriors from the front : Expect new Warriors captain Simon Mannering to be more Ruben Wiki than Steve Price in his leadership style.
