What was decided

The majority voted against amendments introduced by Senator Pauline Hanson (Qld), which means they were unsuccessful.

What were the amendments?

Senator Hanson explained that:

... at present we still have five former prime ministers on the taxpayer payroll. I am moving amendments here to address the gold leaf that they and their spouses have for their travel...

... I believe that if we are going to ask the people of Australia to pull their belts in and we are going to take money out of their pockets or pull back on essential services for them then we as leaders of this nation should show by example.
