The Parliamentary Prayer Group is a gathering of Christian politicians in the Australian parliament, who hold prayer sessions on Monday nights in Parliament House, Canberra.
Members who have attended include:
- Prime Minister-elect, Kevin Rudd
- Bronwyn Bishop
- Bob Katter
- Bob Baldwin
- Sussan Ley
The Parliamentary Prayer Group is mainly attended by socially conservative Members of Parliament. Kevin Rudd is considered the mainstay of the group, and is the only member of the Labor Party to regularly attend. Rudd has formed a good relationship with conservative independent Bob Katter as a result of their mutual attendance at the group.
