“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 against an amendment introduced by New England MP Barnaby Joyce (Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party), which means it was unsuccessful. The amendment would have changed the text of the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).

Amendment text

That all words after "whilst" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House calls on the Government to initiate a review of this Bill for any potential areas of conflict with other legislation, including but not limited to the Safeguard Mechanism".
