“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 introduced by Cowper MP Pat Conaghan (Nationals), which means it failed.

In explaining why the Government did not support this amendment, Lilley MP Anika Wells (Labor) explained that:

The government does not support this very technical amendment. I can confirm for the member for Farrer that the government is drafting rules related to this bill which will be released for consultation next year.

Amendment text

(1) Schedule 2, item 65, page 60 (line 3), omit "may", substitute "must".

Original wording

65 Transitional rules

(1) The Minister may, by legislative instrument, make rules prescribing matters:

(a) required or permitted by this Act to be prescribed by the rules; or

(b) necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this Act.
