While looking at a Jetstar domestic booking today, noticed the following information:
"If you want more room to stretch out select an Extra Leg Room Seat and you'll get an extra 8 inches of leg room to make your flight even more comfortable. Extra Leg Room Seats cost an additional $AUD$30.00"
There were no "green shaded" seats that indicated a Extra Leg Room seat in the seatmap for one of my flights, and the other flight only had Row 13 (exit) marked in green.
Looks like it was launched yesterday:

e-Travel Blackboard: Jetstar launches Extra Leg Room upgrade
Australia’s low fares airline Jetstar has today launched an Extra Leg Room* upgrade option that allows JetSaver Light and JetSaver passengers to further customise their travel experience.
From today, JetSaver Light and JetSaver passengers can purchase more space to stretch their legs by requesting an Extra Leg Room* seat upgrade for $30 on any one-way domestic flight, and $60 on any one-way international flight#. JetFlex passengers continue to have access to selected seats, some with extra leg room, inclusive in their fare.
For passengers travelling on Jetstar’s A320/ A321 aircraft on domestic and short haul international services, an Extra Leg Room* seat has a seat pitch of 38 inches, offering 20 per cent more seat pitch compared to a regular economy seat.
For passengers travelling on Jetstar’s A330 aircraft on international long haul flights, Extra Leg Room* seats have a seat pitch of 45 inches, offering 35 per cent more seat pitch compared to a regular economy seat.

Extra Leg Room Seats
Jetstar offers JetSaver Light and JetSaver passengers the ability to purchase Extra Leg Room seating in selected exit row seats on single sector bookings (excluding flights from Japan). In order to qualify to sit in these seats, you must meet the exit row seating requirements listed above.
JetFlex passengers are able to request any exit row seat for no extra charge, subject to availability. JetFlex passengers requesting an exit row seat must also meet the requirements above.
How much more Extra Leg Room do I get?
On A320 and A321 aircraft, you will gain an Extra 8 inches of seat pitch and on an A330 aircraft, an Extra 15 inches of seat pitch.
Terms and Conditions - Extra Leg Room Seats
Extra Leg Room Seats are non transferable and non refundable.
Jetstar has the sole discretion at check-in, or boarding, to determine whether a passenger meets the requirements to sit in an exit row seat (which may include an Extra Leg Room Seat). If the passenger does not meet the requirements, the passenger will be assigned a regular economy seat and Jetstar will not provide a refund of the additional amount paid to sit in an Extra Leg Room seat.
If between the date of purchasing the seat and 24 hours before travel, you become unable to fulfil the requirements to sit in an exit row, you should notify Jetstar immediately. You will be transferred to a regular economy seat, and Jetstar may refund you the additional amount paid to sit in an Extra Leg Room seat.
In the event of a flight disruption, Jetstar will attempt to seat you in an Extra Leg Room seat, but cannot guarantee that such a seat will be available on your new flight.
If, in accordance with the JetSaver or JetSaver Light fare rules, you choose to move to a different flight, you will be allocated an Extra Leg Room seat if available at the time the change is made. However, if an Extra Leg Room seat is unavailable, Jetstar will not provide a refund of the additional amount paid to sit in an Extra Leg Room seat.
