“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 Queensland Senator James McGrath (LNP), which means it failed.

Motion text

Standing orders are the procedural rules of parliament.
