New Zealand passes a bill enabling increased remote participation in court proceedings.

New Zealand passes the Courts (Remote Participation) Amendment Bill, allowing increased use of audio and audiovisual tech in court proceedings.

The bill also allows audio links for criminal proceedings and appropriate civil proceedings.
