Return to status quo in Oz: no marital frolics (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

normalization

'return to status quo' is the definition.
(returning to normal conditions)

'in oz no marital frolics' is the wordplay.
'frolics' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'frolicking' mean this).
'in'+'oz'+'no'+'marital'='inoznomarital'
'inoznomarital' anagrammed gives 'NORMALIZATION'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
