“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 Melbourne MP Adam Bandt (Greens), which means it failed. Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.

Motion text

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Melbourne moving the following motion:

That the House:

(1) notes the world is on track for a catastrophic 2.5 to 3 degree warming of the planet based on current policies;

(2) acknowledges that coal and gas are fueling the climate crisis;

(3) condemns the Future Gas Strategy which intends to expand gas production to 2050 and beyond; and

(4) calls on the Environment Minister and Resources Minister to stop approving new coal and gas mines.
