“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 in favour of a motion "that schedule 2 stand as printed". In other words, they voted to keep it unchanged. This motion took place after Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson (Liberal) moved that the schedule be deleted.

What does Schedule 2?

According to the bills digest:

Schedule 2 will require higher education providers to allocate a minimum of 40 per cent of their Student Services and Amenities Fee revenue to student-led organisations. The Bill proposes to define a student led organisation, based upon enrolled students constituting a majority of the governing body of the organisation, enrolled students electing the majority of such members, and satisfying requirements in the Higher Education Support (Student Services, Amenities, Representation and Advocacy) Guidelines 2022.
