Some court cases will soon be heard online in Australia, with judges receiving lawyers' arguments by email, a state minister said Sunday.

The system, known as JusticeLink, is to be rolled out in courts across Australia's largest state over the next 12 months, New South Wales state Attorney General John Hatzistergos said.

Prosecutors and defence lawyers will log in to a bulletin board and type their arguments, which would then be sent to the judge by email. The judge would make orders in real time.

"While the time-honoured traditions of our legal system will remain intact, JusticeLink will streamline the process, saving millions of US dollars in costs and countless hours spent in the courtroom," Hatzistergos said.

The system will not be used for committal proceedings and trials, which will still be conducted in person, but for more preliminary procedural hearings, including such matters as bail applications.

I've had a quick look for greywater safe soaps. There are plenty for the kitchen sink, but not body soap, shampoo etc.

I've got a tank now, so there is no shortage of water, but I'll probably still elave the greywater system in.

Do you mind if I splice this into a new thread and link it from the article?
