Hivemind request: for Austrialian Buffistas or better Googlers than I

If someone had a 20 year old felony conviction from Australia (drug smuggling), to which government agency would they inquire about applying for a pardon to expunge said conviction from their record?

I've been searching for 2 hours and can't find anything. Maybe such a thing does not exist in Australia?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Megan, I think billytea has close contacts in the legal field in Australia. He might know someone to ask.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Billytea's dad is a federal judge, IIRC. Bet he can tell you.

I looked around my empty, large server room, and simply said, "I like it."

God, that sounds nice. At least you have something to compensate for the insane amounts of work.

Shut up you!

I thought billytea might be a good contact for this question. Maybe I should just email him. Hmmm....

I think it's like 4 a.m. Antipodean time--he may not be up for a few hours yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's been a while since we've done one of these (and msbelle isn't here).

Tell me something that's made you smile recently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cindy, I haven't had hormones checked in a few years. I hope it's not...well, I don't want any more tests, but I do want this to stop.

Last thing that made me smile, Perkins, was a co-worker giving me the go-ahead to log into the server and poke into the application software myself. Because "ita was the first here with Product X. She knows what she's doing." I needed that after this morning.

What is even happening?

Yeah. It's a wonder you're not completely depressed all of the time (I understand your distinction--that these particular headaches bring on a particularly soul-sucking depressive episode, I just mean in general, it's a wonder).
