“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 so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to the consideration of business of the Senate notice of motion No. 1 may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament. Because this vote was successful, the motion referred to can be introduced.
