“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 against a motion introduced by Hunter MP Joel Fitzgibbon, which means it failed.

Motion text

That the House:

(1) notes that:

(a) Australia's dairy farmers are caught in a long-running cost-price squeeze, where they are paid less than the cost of producing their milk; and

(b) Government intervention is needed to save our dairy sector and our dairy farmers; and

(2) therefore, calls on the Government to task the ACCC with testing the efficacy of a minimum farm gate milk price and to make recommendations on the best design options.
