We need something equivalent to a "Presidential Pardon"

Not sure if we have such a thing but need it on this occasion!

Agreed!
If we did have an equivalent, then Labor would have already silently amended it by now, hence it's even happening to begin with.

Hi mellie.

Australia has the Royal Prerogative of Mercy.

The Governor-General of Australia, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, can pardon individuals convicted of Commonwealth crimes.
