“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 introduced by NSW Senator Jenny McAllister (Labor), which means it succeeded.

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent a minister moving, in committee of the whole, amendments to the bill which amend the Environment Protection and Biodiversity ConservationAct 1999 to expand the circumstances in which certain petroleum mining developments must be assessed and approved by the minister administering that Act.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
