Writing guide

[contactmp_points_button text="Open in your email" text_field=email_points]

Introduce

Address them as “Dear [contactmp_mp_details field=”salutation”]”, or “Dear [contactmp_mp_details field=”first”]”

Introduce yourself and say where you live, something about your family, community, or your faith.

Concerns

Concerns you can raise:

  • you have heard about the Government’s consultation on “conversion therapy” legislation.
  • you are concerned that many faith groups have not been consulted, or even told that the consultation was happening.
  • you are concerned that the Government is planning to copy the Victorian legislation that has seriously restricted the freedom of speech and religion.
  • the Victorian model was rejected by NSW and South Australia, who both consulted widely with faith communities.

Your request

Ask the MP for a response:

  • will they hold the Government to account on this legislation?

  • will they stand up for basic freedoms like freedom of speech and religion?

Conclude

Thank the MP for their attention and their service to the electorate.

Ensure you include your name and address. This is so the MP’s staff can confirm that you are a member of their electorate. Letters without an address are often ignored
