“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 to agree with the main idea of the bill, which means our senators can now discuss it in more detail. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill for a second time.

What was the main idea of the bill?

According to the bill's homepage, the bill was introduced to:

  • require the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to determine a base minimum price for milk for each dairy season;
  • require the minister to refer to the Productivity Commission for inquiry the effectiveness of determining a base price for milk and the potential effectiveness of a divestiture regime for the dairy industry; and
  • establish a mandatory industry code for the food and grocery industry, including the dairy industry.
