“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 an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This amendment was introduced by Farrer MP Sussan Ley (Liberal).

Amendment text

That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"the House notes that under this Government, Australians' access to affordable health care through the Medicare Benefits Schedule has only gone backwards, and it has never been harder or more expensive to see a GP".
