“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 Queensland Senator Penny Allman-Payne (Greens), which means it failed.

Motion text

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

Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today the Australian Greens propose to move "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The Labor Government's failure to fully fund public schools while pouring record money into over-funded private schools, condemning another generation of kids to an underfunded education."

Error in record

Note that this division currently (as of 24/08/24) shows West Australian Senator Fatima Payman (Independent) as a rebel, but this is wrong as she is now an independent senator.
