It is quite a substantive issue in the sense that if you look at Standing Order No.77, it says:- “(1) “No Senator shall be obliged to vote in a division, but those present and not voting shall either- (a) in the case of an electronic vote, press the “Abstain” button; or (b) in the case of a roll call vote, record their abstention with the clerk. (2) It shall be disorderly conduct for a Senator to fail to record his or her abstention in a division. (3) A Senator shall not vote on any question in which the Senator has a pecuniary interest. (4) During division, Senators shall maintain order in the Senate and shall be in their designated seats and shall remain seated until the result is announced.”"}
