“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 to amend the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time". Agreeing to read a bill for a second time is the same as agreeing with the main idea of the bill.

Motion text

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House:

(1) notes that the Government's plan to privatise Australia's visa system will lead to:

(a) cuts to services, increased risk of visa fraud, worker exploitation, and data security breaches; and

(b) the loss of around 2,000 jobs Australia-wide; and

(2) urges the Government to stop its privatisation of Australia's visa system".
