“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 keeping schedule 2 in the bill. In other words, they voted "that schedule 2 stand as printed."

What is schedule 2?

According to the bills digest, schedule 2 will:

remove the current prohibition on non-citizens who are a national of two or more countries from lodging a valid application for a protection visa without the permission of the Minister. However, they will still need to demonstrate that they have taken all possible steps to avail themselves of a right to enter and reside in any country apart from Australia before being granted a visa.
