“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 to suspend the usual procedural rules, known as standing orders, in order to let another vote take place. It was introduced by South Australian Senator Penny Wong (Labor) and means that Senator Wong cannot move a motion about that bill.

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter; namely, a motion to vary the order of the Senate of 20 June 18 relating to consideration of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Personal Income Tax Plan) Bill 2018.
