“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 a motion introduced by West Australian Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens):

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament and suspending them means another motion can be considered.
