“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 by Hunter MP Joel Fitzgibbon (Labor), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote happen.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Hunter from moving the following motion forthwith:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the order of the day for the Live Sheep Long Haul Export Prohibition Bill 2018 standing in the name of the Member for Farrer being returned to the House from the Federation Chamber, called on immediately and given priority over all other business for passage through all stages by no later than 6 pm today.
