“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 three sets of amendment introduced by the Australian Greens Party and labelled sheet 2239, sheet 2237 revised and sheet 2238 revised. This means the amendments were successful and will now form part of the bill.

What did these amendments do?

Sheet 2239 referred to withdrawal of Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Mechanism (SDLAM) projects.

Sheet 2237 revised required that reviews of the Basin Plan include information about matters relevant to Indigenous people.

Sheet 2238 revised introduced a new requirement to provide an annual report in relation to activities relating to Indigenous people.

Rebellion?

Note that Victorian Senator David Van (Independent) is currently showing up as a rebel voter from the Liberal Party in this division (as of 13/12/2023). This is inaccurate, as Senator Van is no longer in the Liberal Party.
