This should be replaced without hesitation it is an antiquated law that is wide open to abuse and has been in the past. There are many adults with inteelectual disabilities who are more well balanced than many members of society. With assistance these adults can make decisions for themselves and have proved this many many times.

It is an archaic Act which needs to be addressed for all our citizens with an intellectual disability.

This urgently needs to be rectified. It is affecting people with ID on a daily basis and is even affecting whether crimes committed against them go to prosecution

As a disabled person I find this law offensive and it merely continues a regime of disableism.

The Lunacy Act is offensive to me and members of my family.

I thought we had evolved from such phrasing. Remove outdated Act for the sake of equity,inclusion and equal rights and opportunities for all citizens!
Laws need to be brought up to date. we live in 2015. Not 1815
