Speaker 2

I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples who are 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 vouch thy... Vouchsake thy blessing upon this parliament. Direct and prosper our deliberations to the advancement of thy glory and 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 messages from the senate returning bills without amendments or requests. I do not propose to read these messages which we recorded in the votes and proceedings. The following message from the senate has been received. The senate returns to the House of Representatives a bill for an act to amend the law relating to workplace relations, the road transport industry and registered organizations, and for related purposes and informs the House that the Senate has agreed to the bill with amendments in the annexed schedule. The Senate requests the concurrence of the House in the amendments.
