“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 West Australian Senator Mathias Cormann (Liberal) to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to allow him to introduced another motion.

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended without debate as would prevent us from moving an hours motion.
