“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 Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means it succeeded and the relevant documents will need to be produced.
