Speaker 12
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 wealth of the people of Australia.  Our Father, who 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 forever and ever.  Amen.  I present report number 17 of the Selection Committee relating to consideration of committee and delegation business and private members' business on Monday 26 October 2026. 

The report will be printed in the Hansard for today and the committee's determinations will appear on tomorrow's notice paper.  Copies of the report have been placed on the table.
