Business - Rearrangement - Don't let a vote happen

“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 disagreeing with a motion introduced by Grayndler MP Anthony Albanese (Labor), which means it failed. The motion was 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 the government business notice No. 2 standing in the name of the Member for Bradfield being called on immediately.
