The Government's Zones of Special Operations (ZOSO) Bill 2026 collapsed in the Senate on Tuesday night.
The legislation failed after eight of nine Independent Senators voted against, while one Independent abstained. The six Opposition Senators also voted against.
The legislation would have allowed the Government to establish ZOSOs in areas deemed as crime hot spots, and required a three-fifths majority to be passed.
