What was decided

The majority voted against a motion:

That the committee now report progress.

This means they will now continue to consider the bill.

What does this motion mean?

According to Odgers' Australian Senate Practice:

The equivalent of adjourning consideration of a matter in committee of the whole is to report progress. The committee reports to the Senate that the committee has considered the matter referred to it, has made progress, and seeks leave to sit again at some future time for further consideration. The Senate then normally, by motion, gives the committee leave to sit again at a later time, and consideration of the matter in committee of the whole then becomes an order of the day for that later time.
