Congratulations on your recent election victory. As a new Member of Parliament, your role in shaping the future of our nation is both crucial and inspiring. I'm writing to express my gratitude for the commitments that Labor and the Prime Minister have made regarding the protection of religious freedom. It's encouraging to hear the Prime Minister's assurance that "religious freedom will not go backwards" and the commitment to advance a religious discrimination bill in collaboration with faith leaders.
It's reassuring that any legislation affecting religious freedoms will involve bipartisan efforts with the Coalition, rather than deals with the Greens. This approach ensures a balanced dialogue that considers the diverse views of Australians. I look forward to the Government fulfilling these promises, ensuring that people of all faiths feel safeguarded and respected.
Please know that you have my support as you take on your responsibilities. I am praying for you as you work to serve our community and uphold the values that are dear to us. Your leadership is vital in fostering a society where everyone can freely practice their beliefs.
