“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 suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to let another motion take place, which means it won't happen.

Motion text

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Melbourne from moving the following motion immediately—That the House:

(1) notes the release of the sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change synthesis report on the escalating climate emergency;

(2) notes the statement by the UN Secretary-General that there can be no new coal, oil and gas projects and Australia and other developed countries must phase out coal by 2030; and

(3) calls on the Government to heed the call of the IPCC and the UN Secretary-General and stop approving new coal and gas projects.
