“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 to suspend the usual parliamentary rules - known as standing orders - to let another vote take place. This means the vote did not proceed. This motion was introduced by West Australian Senator Dorinda Cox (Greens).

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 missing and murdered First Nations women and children.
