“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 introduced by NSW Senator Mehreen Faruqi (Greens), which means it failed. Senator Faruqi explained that: "This amendment actually removes indexation for all student debts. It won't cap the debts. It won't take the lower of CPI or WPI, because that's still unfair and adds masses of debt for students—debt that actually shouldn't exist."
