“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, moved by South Australian Senator Don Farrell (Labor), to a motion moved by South Australian Senator Sarah Hanson-Young (Greens). This means the amendment failed.

Amendment text

Omit "16 October 2023", substitute "the next day of sitting".
