“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 in favour of a motion:

That the committee does not insist on its amendments to which the House of Representatives has disagreed.

The House of Representatives had previously disagreed with several amendments proposed by the Senate. By not insisting on the amendments, the Senate has agreed to pass the bill without them. This means the bill can now become part of our law.
