“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 ACT Senator David Pocock (Independent), which means it failed.

Motion text

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

The need for investment in nature conservation to protect and manage our incredible landscapes and species, given at least half of Australia's GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature and only 0.1% of the federal Budget is spent on its protection.
