“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 to put the question, meaning that the discussion about the bill will now end and the House will now vote on whether they agree with the main idea of the bill (that is, whether to give the bill a second reading).

Main idea of the bill

The bill amends the Commonwealth Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme by, for example, reducing the large-scale renewable energy target (LRET) and replacing the requirement for two-yearly reviews of the operation of the RET scheme with annual statements by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER). Further detail is available in the bills digest.

What happened next?

When the question was put, all Members of Parliament (MPs) except Mr Bob Katter and Mr Andrew Wilkie agreed to the bill's main idea.
