“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 an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is that the bill be read a second time (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the usual text will remain unchanged. This amendment had been introduced by NSW Senator Mehreen Faruqi (Greens).

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Government to immediately raise the number of places in Australia's humanitarian intake to at least 27,000 places per year as set out in the Australian Labor Party's 2023 National Platform".
