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.

Aye
34
No
28
Not recorded voting
13

“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 standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Waters from making a three-minute statement on chamber procedure.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.

This means that Queensland Senator Larissa Walters (Greens) was able to make her statement.
