“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 introduced by Watson MP Tony Burke (Labor), which means it passed.

Motion text

That the House:

(1) acknowledges the position previously taken by the House that the division of a bill in the House in which it did not originate is undesirable;

(2) without departing from this position, distinguishes this occasion on the basis that it involves the division of a Government bill in the Senate, at the initiation of the Government, setting it apart from previous occurrences;

(3) therefore concurs with this action taken by the Senate on this occasion; and

(4) agrees to the amendments made by the Senate.
