“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

A small majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Senator Penny Allman-Payne (Australian Greens), which means it was successful.

Motion Text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the integrated assessment tool.
