“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 amendments introduced by the Australian Greens, which means they were unsuccessful. These amendments related to:

  • ensuring that it is still possible to disallow arrival control determinations (the current wording of the bill would prevent that); and
  • enable Resolution of Status visa applications by transitory people.
