“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 passing the bill in the Senate. In parliamentary jargon, they read the bill for a third time. Because the bill had already passed in the House of Representatives, it will now become law.
Background of the bill
The bill will prohibit:
- importing and selling all timber products that contain illegally logged timber; and
- processing illegally harvested domestically grown raw logs.
It will also introduce due diligence requirements and require products that are legally logged to be accurately described before being put up for sale in Australia.
