“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 amendment on sheet 2277 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). Because this vote was unsuccessful, the original motion will remain as it is.

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate calls on the Government to introduce legislation to:

(a) enable the immediate deportation, without right of appeal, of any bridging visa holder who attends a rally which advocates racism, violence or discrimination; and

(b) increase the term of imprisonment to 25 years for bridging visa holders who commit serious criminal offences and enable the immediate deportation of those persons on their release from prison".
