Congratulations on your recent election win. I hope you are settling in well as our new MP and feeling at home in your important role. I am writing to express my gratitude for the commitments the Opposition has made to safeguard religious freedom. The emphasis on protecting freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom from discrimination based on religion is reassuring to many in our community. It's encouraging to see the pledge to uphold the right of religious organisations, including faith-based schools, to employ staff who share their faith. These measures are vital for ensuring our diverse society respects and protects individual beliefs.
I look forward to seeing the Opposition honour these commitments and hold the Government accountable in preserving religious freedom, as promised. Please know that you are in my prayers as you serve our community and navigate the challenges ahead in your new role.
