Consideration of Legislation

Procedural motion

A vote on how Parliament conducts its business, not on a law itself.

Noes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

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

No plain-English summary has been written for this division yet. The official title above is the most reliable description of the question.

Text recorded with this division

Michaelia Cash

I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent this resolution having effect.

That the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Restoring Common Sense and Recognising Biological Sex) Bill 2026 be restored to the Notice Paper and consideration of the bill resume at the first reading stage.

Sue Lines

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 713 standing in the name of Senator Cash be agreed to.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.

Both bars use the same scale: number of members.
