“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:

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The urgent need to condemn the Albanese Labor Government's latest broken election promise on Israel, as a result of a backroom factional deal ahead of Labor's national conference, which unilaterally changes Australia's position, and does nothing to advance Australia's long-standing position to support a lasting two-state solution, in which Israel and Palestine co-exist in peace and security within internationally recognised borders.

It was introduced by Tasmanian Senator Claire Chandler (Liberal).

Note

This motion took place in August 2023 and is not connected to the later 7 October 2023 attack on Israel and the bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza that followed.
