Speaker 2

Almighty God, we humbly beseech thee to vouchsafe thy blessing upon this parliament. Direct and prosper our deliberations the advancement of thy glory and the true welfare of the people of our state and 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 those who 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 acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora Nation and its elders, and thank them for their custodianship of this land. Order. According to standing order, I shall now call over formal business.
