“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 Victorian Senator Lidia Thorpe (Independent) to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament so that another motion can be moved, which means it was unsuccessful.

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 give precedence to a motion relating to First Nations deaths in custody.
