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.

No

Not recorded voting

“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 an amendment moved by Queensland Senator Anthony Chisholm (Labor) to an amendment moved by South Australian Senator Anne Ruston (Liberal), which means it failed and the original amendment was unchanged.

Senator Ruston's original amendment

At the end of the motion, add ", and, in respect of the provisions of the Family Law Amendment Bill 2023, the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee report by 24 August 2023".

Senator Chisolm's amendment

Omit "24 August 2023", substitute "14 June 2023".
