Speaker 18

I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Nambri peoples for the traditional custodians of the Canberra area and pay respects to the elders past and present of all Australia's indigenous peoples. Mighty god, we humbly beseech thee to vouchsight thy blessing upon this parliament. Direct and prosper our deliberations to the advancement of thy glory and the true welfare of the people of Australia. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. On indulgence, I call the prime minister.

10:49 - 11:10

Speaker 3

Thanks, mister speaker. March is endometriosis awareness month. This is a disease that affects one in seven Australian women. Yet for too long, the health system didn't take it seriously or treat it properly. As part of the biggest ever investment in women's health, our government is changing that.
