“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 in favour of a motion to keep the following parts of the bill unchanged: items 3, 6 and 9 of schedule 2. In parliamentary jargon, they voted that those parts "stand as printed". This vote was put after WA Senator Fatima Payman (Australia's Voice) proposed that those parts be opposed.

What is the purpose of these items?

The purpose of these items is to lower the threshold that the Minister must be satisfied of in respect to character concerns, the refusal or cancellation of temporary safe haven visas and the refusal or cancellation of visa on character grounds.
