ALP VOWS TO REMOVE LORD'S PRAYER IF RE-ELECTED.
A motion to remove the Lord’s Prayer from Victoria’s parliamentary sittings has been deflected, for now. The Daniels’ Labor government has announced that it will not support a motion by upper house MP Fiona Patten (from the Reason Party, formerly the Sex Party) to remove the prayer.
However, the leader of the Labor party in the Upper House indicated that if re-elected at the end of next year, a future Labor government would move to remove the prayer.
While Liberal Senator James McGrath says "When you look at the Lord's prayer ... it actually talks about us coming together. about forgiving, it talks about the principles that actually built Australia."
