      I’d like to do this illegal, immoral and unconstitutional thing, but I’d like to not get sued for it. One notwithstanding clause please!

      Or at least make it require some very large proportion of votes to pass a bill with the clause in it.

        I kinda want it to be both hard and costly to invoke, needs to be an absolute last case, like have it trigger an election so that it has to be voted on by the next government, or have it trigger a referendum that requires a super majority of eligible voters to pass (nonvoters count as no), and if it does succeed it terminates when parliament dissolves, that’s kinda inline though with the 5 year renewal periods.
