绿党呼吁将主祷文从联邦参议院议事程序中删除，以建立世俗议会。 Greens call to remove Lord's Prayer from federal Senate proceedings for a secular parliament.
绿党再次呼吁将《主祷文》从联邦参议院议事程序中删除，主张建立世俗议会并实行政教分离。 The Greens have reiterated their call to remove the Lord's Prayer from federal Senate proceedings, arguing for a secular parliament and separation of church and state. 参议员梅赫林·法鲁基 (Mehreen Faruqi) 认为，这种祈祷不能代表澳大利亚多元信仰和民族。 Senator Mehreen Faruqi believes the prayer is not representative of the diverse faiths and nationalities in Australia. 目前，除澳大利亚首都领地立法议会外，所有澳大利亚议会都会在每天开会开始时进行主祷文。 All Australian parliaments currently feature the Lord's Prayer at the beginning of each sitting day, except for the ACT Legislative Assembly. 自 1995 年起，这一要求已被替换为邀请议员“祈祷或反思”自己的职责。 Since 1995, this has been replaced with an invitation for MPs to "pray or reflect" on their responsibilities. 绿党代理领袖莎拉·汉森·杨 (Sarah Hanson-Young) 支持将主祷文从议会程序中删除。 Acting Greens leader Sarah Hanson-Young supports the removal of the Lord's Prayer from parliamentary proceedings.
