“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 to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the amendment failed. It was introduced by ACT Senator David Pocock (Independent).

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:

(a) notes that recent changes to the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax were co-authored by the Government and the gas industry and do not represent a fair return for the sale of Australian gas; and

(b) calls on the Government to reform the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax to capture the true value of Australian gas sold to multinational companies and shipped overseas".
