“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 a motion introduced by South Australian Senator Simon Birmingham (Liberal) to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to let another vote take place.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent him moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion relating to the Albanese Government's response to the decision to be moved and determined immediately.
