“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 to end the debate on Labor MP Mark Butler's statement, which criticised the Government's climate change policies. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to "put the question".

This means that the members of parliament (MPs) will now immediately vote on whether they agree with Butler's statement without further debate (see that division).
