As I understand it, in the US, this would result in you being involuntarily committed to a mental institution until you were found competent to stand trial. It appears Australia has something similar (per the article):
Subject to further submissions by the parties, Mirza will be committed as a forensic patient under the control of the Mental Health Review Tribunal, and will not be released while still deemed a risk to himself or the public.
So this isn't letting a violent man roam the streets, it's putting him in a mental institution instead of a prison.

And the mental hospitals have way stricter guidelines of letting someone go. Especially if they are paid per inmate.
