“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:

That so much of standing order 142 be suspended as would prevent further consideration of the bill without limitation of time.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.

The motion was introduced by South Australian Senator Simon Birmingham (Liberal) and referred to the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Bill 2023.
