House of Representatives Australian Parliament
10:00 - 10:49
Speaker 2
I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri 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 vouchsafe 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, for ever and ever. Amen. I give the call to the honourable member for Dunkley.
10:49 - 11:59
Speaker 1
Good morning, Mr Speaker. I present the 15th report of the Petitions Committee for the 48th Parliament together with 82 petitions. There are currently 35 petitions open for signatures on the House e-petitions website, covering a range of topics including facial recognition technology, visa processing, university fees, support for beekeepers and the National Disability Insurance Agency. More certifications will follow at the committee's next meeting. Since the start of the 48th Parliament, the committee has continued to observe sustained public interest in the petitions process.
Petitioning remains an important part of Australian democracy, and ensuring that Australians can continue to petition the House is of the highest importance. The committee continues its work towards completing the report for the inquiry into the standing orders relating to petitions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to updating the House further on the work of the Petitions Committee.
