Speaker 1
Honourable members, Deputy Speaker. I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples, who are the traditional owners of the Canberra area and pay respect to the elders past and present of all Australia's Indigenous people. Almighty God, we humbly beseech thee to vouchsafe thy blessing upon this Parliament. Direct and prosper our deliberations in the advancement of thy glory and the true welfare of the people of Australia. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in 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 for ever and ever.
