Dear MP not found,
or Dear MP not found,
Thank you for your efforts to uphold religious freedom in the ongoing discussions concerning the Conversion Practices Bill. Your commitment is evident, especially through the amendments you have proposed, which aim to protect faith communities, parents, and individuals' rights to religious expression. Your speech in parliament stood out as a powerful defence of these values, and the people you represent surely appreciate the strength of your conviction in this matter.
With this in mind, I would like to ask whether you will continue to support these amendments and seek to have them implemented should your party come into power. Your dedication to serving the residents of our State is commendable, and I urge you to keep standing firm in the fight for religious freedoms that are intrinsic to a fair and pluralistic society. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and the positive impact you are striving to make is of great importance.
