“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 disallowing the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Amendment (Shotguns and Shotgun Magazines) Regulation 2016, which "reimposes an import ban on the Adler seven-shot lever-action shotgun" (read Liberal Democratic Senator David Leyonhjelm full explanation).

Senators voting in favour of this motion support importing this shotgun. Senators voting against the motion, want to keep the import ban.

Senator Leyonhjelm introduced this motion because he believes Australians should be able to import this type of shotgun.

Read more about his reasons - and the reasons why the majority of senators voted against his motion - over on OpenAustralia.
