“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 West Australian Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens), which would have suspended the usual procedural rules (known as standing orders) to allow him to introduce another motion on the subject of Palestine.

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion in relation to Palestine, and give precedence to the motion in relation to that subject.

Error in this record (as of 17/08/2024)

Note that this record currently lists West Australian Senator Fatima Payman as a rebel voter, but this is inaccurate as Senator Payman is no longer part of the Labor Party and is now an Independent.
