“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 a motion to agree with a report from the Selection of Bills Committee, which was introduced by South Australian Senator Anne Ruston (Liberal). This means the amendment failed.

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add:

"and, in respect of the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Repeal of Cashless Debit Card and Other Measures) Bill 2022, the Community Affairs Legislation Committee report by 5 October 2022".
