The article and title have been updated.

Council votes again to dump public EV fast charging station – then changes its mind

I think it's saying that they'll go ahead with the chargers now. In having trouble parsing the edits to be honest

All I could see was this

This article has been updated to correct an error that the Livingstone shire council refused to rescind the decision to pause all EV charger installations on the Capricorn coast.

Yesterday's ABC article is a bit clearer that the latest news is the charger is going ahead.

Yeah, it's really confusingly worded

Last week the Livingstone Shire council voted to cancel a deal to install the Capricorn Coast’s first EV charger, and a followup meeting held on Thursday to reverse the decision initially failed to win over the required number of four councillors.

But a surprise second motion from the mayor reversing last week’s decision while also asking state and national local government associations to investigate renewables, got up.

So my read of it is:

Cancel project
Try to undo cancellation but fail
Try and succeed to undo cancellation

But I'm not that confident in my comprehension of it
