“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 agreed to a motion to suspend the usual parliamentary rules (known as standing orders) so that a vote can take place. Since this vote was successful, Senator George Brandis' motion could be voted on.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Brandis moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to Senator Dastyari may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
