“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 in favour of a motion introduced by Independent Senator Fraser Anning (Qld), which means it succeeded. Motions like these don't make legal changes on their own but are politically influential because they represent the will of the Senate.

Motion text

That the Senate requests the Financial Services Royal Commission to seek consent from each of the 10,000 people who have made submissions, and then where consent is granted, publish consented submissions on a public website (with the usual privacy considerations). This is so the public will be able to check that the Royal Commission's report in February 2019 will have dealt with all the issues raised by the public.
