Congratulations on your election victory. It is an exciting time as you begin your journey in Parliament. I want to extend my gratitude for the commitments made by the Opposition to safeguard religious freedom. The dedication to protecting freedom of religion, speech, and ensuring freedom from discrimination on religious grounds is immensely important. Allowing religious organisations, including faith-based schools, to employ staff based on their faith is something that upholds the values many hold dear. Your support and advocacy in these areas are truly valued. I look forward to seeing the Opposition's promises manifest in tangible outcomes and in holding the Government accountable for protecting these essential freedoms. Please know that you are in my prayers as you undertake the significant task of serving our community. May you have the strength and wisdom needed to navigate the challenges ahead.
