“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 disagreeing with a motion to ignore the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote happen. This means the other vote won't take place.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition from moving the following motion immediately—That the House calls on the Prime Minister to immediately:

(1) commission an independent inquiry into the sexual assault allegations against the Attorney-General;

(2) provide a full explanation of his Government's response to the reported sexual assault of Brittany Higgins in the Defence Minister's office in March 2019;

(3) act on the Australian Human Rights Commission's Respect@Work report; and

(4) improve support for programs that prevent gendered violence.
