“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 an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is that the bill be read for a second time (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). The amendment was introduced by Whitlam MP Stephen Jones (Labor).

Amendment text

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House recognises:

(1) the importance of Australia’s long-standing relationship with Israel; and

(2) the need to support cooperation between national tax authorities".
