Just a rubber stamp. It may as well not exist because it does not fulfil the intentions it was made with. This is an example of why the mental health system should not be given more funding, because resources will be wasted on wrongfully ‘diagnosed’ people who were not given procedural justice.

Basically, a court to let people off scot-free for murder etc. Sorry but if you kill someone, clearly you're not in the right frame of mind........ but it's still called MURDER. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to jail. The End. This court should not exist, there should only be criminal court, none of this mental health nonsense.

Consumers need to get a lawyer to be listened to by the MHRT
