Certainly mandatory charge policies may be well intentioned, but they can also have disproportionate effects, and we know that the overrepresentation of indigenous women in prisons is even more extreme than the overrepresentation of indigenous men.
I would be concerned about anything that could potentially add to that issue. You have to remember that, at the bail stage, a lot of this really depends upon police charging practices. There's some evidence that police sometimes overcharge or regularly charge without perhaps evaluating all the equities.
