“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 Opposition amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the original motion will remain unchanged.

Motion text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) notes the distress and economic pain of farmers caused by the Albanese Government's decision to phase-out the live sheep trade; and

(b) calls on the Government to ensure that the live sheep trade is not prohibited".
