Noes 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

“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 Victorian Senator Janet Rice (Greens) to suspend the usual procedural rules to let a vote happen. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against suspending standing orders.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Rice from moving a motion to provide for consideration of that motion.
