“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 "That the Member be no longer heard." These motions are a type of gagging order and mean that Port Adelaide MP Mark Butler (Labor) will no longer be able to speak in this debate.

Rebel voter

There was one rebel in this vote, with Chisholm MP Julia Banks (Liberal) crossing the floor to vote 'No' against the rest of the Liberal Party, which voted 'Yes.'
