“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 introduced by ACT Senator Katy Gallagher (Labor), which means it failed. This was a motion to suspend standing orders - which are the usual procedural rules of parliament - in order to let other motions be moved and voted on immediately, without further debate.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent general business notices of motion 1005, 1007 and 1009 being moved together immediatedly and determined without amendment or debate.
