“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 NSW Senator David Shoebridge (Greens), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another motion be introduced.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Waters moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to military equipment trade with Israel.
