“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 moved by WA Senator Rachel Siewert (greens). The motion would have amended the usual second reading motion That this bill be now read a second time, which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill.

Motion text

", but the Senate calls on the Government to abandon compulsory income management and the Cashless Debit Card."
