“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: "That the question be now put."
The purpose of these motions is to end discussion on a topic and instead vote on the matter straight away. In this case, the topic being discussed was a motion introduced by Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson (One Nation) on what she described as "Indigenous identity fraud".
