“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 Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson (One Nation). This means the motion was unsuccessful and Senator Hanson will be unable to put a motion to consider the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Acknowledging Biological Reality) Bill 2024. Senator Hanson previously attempted to introduce the bill, which failed.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion for the first reading of the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Acknowledging Biological Reality) Bill 2024 may be moved immediately.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
