“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 amendments introduced by Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means they failed. The amendments related to solar PV systems and would have extended the period of the instant asset write-off and the small business energy incentive.
