“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 amendments moved by ACT Senator David Pocock (Independent) and Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie (Jacqui Lambie Network), which means they failed.

The day after this Act receives the Royal Assent.

(2) Page 90 (after line 10), at the end of the Bill, add:

Schedule 8—National Anti-Corrpution Commission Hearings

(2) The Commissioner may decide to hold a hearing, or part of a hearing, in public if the Commissioner is satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so.

Omit “may”, substitute “must”.

Error in the record

Note that West Australian Senator Fatima Payman (Independent) and Queensland Senator Gerard Rennick (Independent) are currently listed as a rebel voters but this is inaccurate because these senators are both now independent senators.
