Speaker 16

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. Almighty god, we humbly beseech thee that 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.

Order up... Order, if members can take their seats quickly and quietly, I'll call the clerk.
