“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 ignore the usual procedural rules so that Senator Cory Bernardi (SA) can move an amendment. In parliamentary jargon, the motion was:

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving my foreshadowed second reading amendment.
