The Bill that did pass was the Public Health Amendment (Natural Organic Reduction) Bill 2026. This allows for legalised and regulated human composting. Also known as natural organic reduction or terramation, this is an alternative to traditional cremation or burial.

Personally, I think this is great Legislation and as long as I don't have to grow cumquats in the afterlife, I'm in!
