Consideration of Legislation

Amendment

A vote on changing the text of a bill or motion, not on passing it.

Official title
Business - Consideration of Legislation - Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Strengthening Protections Against Discrimination) Bill 2023

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.

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 a motion introduced by Bradfield MP Paul Fletcher (Liberal), which means it failed.

Motion text

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the order of the day for the consideration of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Strengthening Protections Against Discrimination) Bill 2023 being called on immediately.

Standing and sessional orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
