The Speaker took the Chair at 11.30 a.m.
KARAKIA/PRAYERS
SPEAKER: Almighty God, we give thanks for the blessings which have been bestowed on us. Laying aside all personal interests, we acknowledge the King and pray for guidance in our deliberations, that we may conduct the affairs of this House with wisdom, justice, mercy, and humility for the welfare and peace of New Zealand. Amen.
This is an important occasion and we’re just going to pause for a few minutes as there’s been a little bit of congestion in getting people in to the galleries. So we’ll just take five minutes to make sure that happens appropriately.
OK, it looks like we’re about full. Could we just have silence in the galleries from this point. Thank you.
