“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 in favour of a motion that clause 69 of the Universities Accord (Australian Tertiary Education Commission) Bill 2025 "stand as printed". In other words, they voted to keep that clause as it is. This vote was put after the Greens proposed that clause 69 be removed from the bill.

What is clause 69?

69 Ministerial agreement for publication of advice or recommendations

Unless another provision of this Act requires the ATEC to publish advice or recommendations, the ATEC must seek and obtain the agreement of the Minister before publishing any advice or recommendations given by the ATEC to any person, including advice or recommendations given under section 41 (advice and recommendations).
