“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 West Australian Senator Jordan Steele-Jordan (Greens), which means it failed.

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Waters moving a motion relating to the conduct of business, namely a motion to give precedence to general business notice of motion no. 451.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
