“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 to agree with the main idea of the bill, which means the House can now consider it in more detail. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against reading the bill for a second time.

What is the bill's main idea?

The bill is in part a response to media surrounding misconduct by Health Service Union officers.

It was introduced to establish the Registered Organisations Commission to investigate and monitor unions and employer organisations. It also imposes a similar standard disclosure and transparency on union officials as company directors and introduces tougher criminal sanctions.
