No

Not recorded voting

“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 a motion moved by West Australian Senator Jordan Steele-John (Greens) at the request of Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means it was not successful.

Motion text

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

That the election of President Trump is a threat to Australia and the world, including his attacks on human rights, democracy and climate action, that the toxic influence of billionaires and corporations in political decision making must end, and that we must do everything we can to stop Trump-style politics coming to Australia.
