“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 rules, which means it failed. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against suspending standing orders. It was introduced by South Australian Senator Cory Bernardi (Australian Conservatives).

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion that general business notice of motion No. 1212 may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
