Since 1919, the Victorian Parliament has begun its daily business with a Christian Prayer. This discriminatory practice does not represent the range of beliefs in Australia’s most diverse state.
Victoria is home to hundreds of religions, one third of us are not religious, and one in ten follow a faith other than Christianity.
It was on that basis that Fiona Patten secured a commitment from the Andrews Government in 2021 to workshop an alternative to the Lord's Prayer at the beginning of the next Parliament. The government has now gone quiet on that commitment.
