Senate Proceedings - Division: One Nation votes against the Government, the Opposition, and others
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan

Similar to the other place, there needs to be two voices challenging the President's opinion to lead to a division. However, the Senate does not have an equivalent to Standing Order 127 which allows the Speaker to declare the decision of the House immediately if there are four or fewer Members on one side of the division. 

You can find the Senate standing orders regarding divisions here: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Chamber_documents/Senate_chamber_documents/standingorders/b00/b18#standing-order_c18-098

For context, the question was that the following motion moved by Senator Hanson-Young be agreed to:

That the Senate—
    (a) notes that mismanagement, water theft and allegations of corruption have undermined confidence in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan;
    (b) rejects the National Party's and Mr Barnaby Joyce's assault on the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, the environment and South Australia; and
    (c) calls on the Federal Government to support the delivery of water to South Australia under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan which is necessary for the survival of the River and the Lower Murray, and the communities that rely upon it. 

Paragraphs (a) and (b) were put separately from paragraph (c) by the request of Senator Ruston. 

Both One Nation senators voted to oppose paragraph (c) of this motion.

This video was first uploaded on 4 February 2020, long before all of the divisions triggered by Senators Lambie and Patrick in June, 2021.

This video was taken from the 5 December 2019 Senate sitting.
