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 introduced by Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie, which means it failed. It was to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely, a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to an order for the production of documents.
