Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Despite
sections 88(4) and 172(1), if an accused conducts himself or herself in a
manner that makes it impracticable to continue proceedings in his or her
presence, the court may order the accused to be removed and the proceedings to
proceed in the accused’s absence.
(2) This section does
not prevent a court from allowing an accused to be present before the court by
means of a video link or audio link or from taking evidence from an accused by
either such means.
