“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 introduced by Victorian Senator Richard Di Natale (Greens), which means it failed. The motion would have suspended the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Di Natale moving a motion relating to the conduct of business of the Senate, namely a motion to provide for the consideration of the Discrimination Free Schools Bill 2018.
