“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 Calare MP Andrew Gee (Independent), which means it failed.

Motion text

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following from occurring immediately:

(1) the Member for Calare introducing the Keeping Cash Transactions in Australia Bill; and

(2) debate on the second reading of the bill proceeding for a period of no longer than one hour, after which any questions required to complete passage of the bill then being put without delay.

Standing and sessional orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
