“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 in favour of a motion introduced by Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means it succeeded. This motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another motion be moved.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.

Rebellion

NSW Senator Hollie Hughes (Liberal) crossed the floor to vote "No" against the rest of her party, who voted "Yes".
