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.

No

Not recorded voting
32

“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:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.

It was moved by ACT Senator Katy Gallagher (Labor), which means it passed. Standing orders are the procedural rules of parliament. Suspending them means another motion can be considered.
