Congratulations on winning your seat and helping to expand the Government's majority. I want to express my gratitude for the commitments made by Labor and the Prime Minister to protect religious freedom in Australia. The assurance that "religious freedom will not go backwards" is particularly encouraging. I'm pleased to hear that Labor intends to progress a religious discrimination bill in collaboration with faith leaders. It's reassuring to know that any legislation impacting religious freedom will be crafted in a bipartisan manner with the Coalition, avoiding deals with the Greens.
The dedication to upholding and protecting religious freedoms is an important issue for many Australians, including myself. I am eager to see the Government keep these promises and work actively towards fostering an environment where religious freedom is respected and preserved.
As you embark on this new parliamentary term, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you success in your important work and look forward to the positive changes your leadership will bring.
