“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 to put the question. In other words, they voted against voting on the matter under debate right away, which was whether to agree with the bill's main idea (in parliamentary jargon, whether to read it for a second time).

What does this bill do?

According to the bill homepage, the bill:

Amends the Australian Education Act 2013 to: redefine the Commonwealth share of funding for a government school to 25%; and introduce an obligation on the minister to be satisfied when determining the Commonwealth share that it is consistent with the objective that every school-aged child in Australia has access to a fully-funded government school.
