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” 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 suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to allow another vote take place. It was introduced by Queensland Senator Larissa Waters (Greens).

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter—namely, a motion to provide that a motion to declare a climate emergency may be moved immediately and determined without amendment.
