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 something about your family, community, or your faith.

Congratulate them on winning the election and welcome them as your new MP.

Ask

Ask them if they support the commitments made by the Government and the Opposition to protect religious freedom.

You may choose to mention one or all of these commitments:

  • That “religious freedom will not go backwards”, as the PM promised.
  • Progressing a religious discrimination bill in collaboration with faith leaders.
  • Protecting the right of faith-based organisations – including schools – to employ staff based on faith.

(You can read more about the commitments here)

Conclude

Assure them you are praying for them as they serve the community (make sure you do pray!)

Include your name and address, so they know you are a member of their electorate.
