Replace prayers before parliament with a more inclusive invocation

The issue

Premier Dan Andrews has said he'd be open to the idea of replacing the Anglican Lord's Prayer, recited before each parliamentary sitting, with something else "if it had widespread support". 

Let's show it has widespread support!

There are many examples of more inclusive invocations that could be used. Here's one (probably too long) that gives an idea of what could be.

Enough of privileging religion. Let's make Victoria secular again!
