“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 a motion that schedule 6 "stand as printed". This means that schedule 6 did not have majority support and will now be removed from the bill. This vote was put after West Australian Senator Patrick Dodson (Labor) proposed the following:

(1) Schedule 6, item 1, page 31 (lines 1 to 5), Schedule 6, TO BE OPPOSED.

Senator Dodson explained that:

[Schedule 6] is raising a substantial fine for any strikes deemed to be a boycott. It doesn't really allow for consideration of those situations where trade union movements support very good causes outside of what is strictly considered an industrial competition situation
