A vote on how Parliament conducts its business, not on a law itself.

Official title
Business - Rearrangement - Let a vote happen

Noes in the majority

“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 moved by SA Senator Penny Wong (Labor) to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to let a vote happen.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion for the adjournment of the Senate.
