“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 in favour of a motion to stop Labor MP for Gorton Brendan O'Connor from speaking. In parliamentary jargon, they voted in favour a motion "that the member be no longer heard."

Since this motion was successful, Mr O'Connor could no longer contribute to this particular debate.
