“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 wanted to stop Opposition Leader Bill Shorten from speaking any more (in parliamentary jargon, they voted that Mr Shorten "be no longer heard"). This motion is known as a "closure of Member".

This means Mr Shorten will no longer be able to speak about his motion against the proposed deregulation of university fees.
