Out-of-hours night court system to be introduced following Bourke St tragedy

Volunteer bail judges will be axed under major changes to Victoria's bail laws following the Bourke Street Mall tragedy, Premier Daniel Andrews says.

Mr Andrews announced "on-call" magistrates will be made available for decisions as part of a wide-ranging review of the state's bail system.

The changes were announced following a wide-ranging outcry after it was revealed the man accused of killing five people in Bourke St on Friday, Dimitrious "Jimmy" Gargasoulas was bailed against the wishes of Victoria Police five days before Friday's attack.

More to come.
