Speaker 13

I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Nambri peoples who are the traditional custodians of the Canberra area and pay respects to the elders past and present of all Australia's indigenous peoples. Almighty 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. I have received a return of the writ which I issued on one April two thousand twenty six for the election of a member to serve for the electoral division of Farrah in the state of New South Wales to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the honorable Susan Lee.
