“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding. 1 voted differently from most of their party.

What was decided

The majority voted against a motion introduced by ACT Senator David Pocock (Independent), which means it failed.

Motion text

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The need for the Australian Government, with the cooperation of the states and territories, to implement a comprehensive ban on all forms of advertising for online gambling, to be introduced in four phases, over three years, commencing immediately.

Rebellions

Queensland Senator Gerard Rennick (Liberal) rebelled against the rest of his party, voting Yes against the rest of his party, which voted No. Note that West Australian Senator Fatima Payman (Independent) is currently marked as a rebel (as at 17/08/2024) but this is inaccurate as Senator Payman is no longer part of the Labor Party.
