“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

The majority voted against a motion introduced by Queensland Senator Larissa Waters (Greens), which means it did not succeed.

Motion text

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The need for the Government to rule out deploying Australian military personnel in the Middle East as part of the US and Israeli illegal war with Iran, noting that the Australian public does not support joining another US forever war, and the growing global concerns about its dangerous escalation.
