Noes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

No

Not recorded voting
15

“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 against two identical amendments introduced by the Nationals and by Pauline Hanson's One Nation, which means they were unsuccessful. There was one rebellion, with Liberal Senator Alex Antic (SA) voting Yes against the rest of the Liberal Party, who voted No.

Amendment text

Omit all words after "That", substitute "the bill be referred to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 2 March 2026".
