“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 letting a vote happen. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against suspending standing orders.

The motion related to the fact that the Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is a New Zealand citizen.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Watson from moving the following motion immediately—The House calls on the Deputy Prime Minister to stand aside from Cabinet until doubts about his constitutional qualifications have been resolved.
