Mentally Impaired Accused (CLIMIA)
Western Australians with mental illness or disability deemed unfit to stand trial or not guilty due to unsound mind can be detained indefinitely under the Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Accused) Act 1996 (CLMIA) without ever having been convicted of a crime.
They may not have had evidence against them tested in court and they have no right to appeal a decision which places them under an indefinite custody order. This is unjust.
