“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 amendments introduced by Queensland Senator Penny Allman-Payne (Greens), which means they failed.

Senator Allman-Payne explained that the amendments:

...seek to amend section 35A of the Australian Education Act 2013 to raise the share of the Commonwealth's contribution to public schools to 25 per cent.

Amendment text

(1) Schedule 1, item 3, page 4 (line 11), omit "20 per cent", substitute "25 per cent".

(2) Schedule 1, item 7, page 5 (line 19), omit "20%", substitute "25%".
