What is a citizens' jury and why is Canberra having one?

Description

From Sydney's nightlife to nuclear storage in South Australia, citizens' juries tackle all sorts of topics.

Now Canberra is having one to come up with a plan for a better compulsory third party (CTP) insurance scheme.

The ACT's current at-fault common law scheme is the second most expensive in Australia and does not cover all people injured in road accidents.

It may not be the nation's sexiest subject, but it affects nearly 300,000 Canberra motorists.
