Ayes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

“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 question be put', which is parliamentary jargon for ending debate and voting on the question straight away.

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.'
