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

Official title
Business - Days and Hours of Meeting - Let a vote happen

Ayes 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 in favour of a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to let another vote take place. It was introduced by ACT Senator Katy Gallagher (Labor).

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 motion relating to the hours of meeting and routine of business immediately.
