Dear MP not found,
or Dear MP not found,
I am reaching out to express my appreciation for your efforts in arguing for religious freedom during the debate on the recent 'Conversion Practices' bill. Your push for amendments to protect parents and faith communities was commendable and much appreciated by many in the community. It is heartening to see a member of Parliament stand firm on issues of fundamental rights and individual liberties.
I would like to ask if you will commit to implementing these important amendments once your party is in government. Your ongoing fight for religious freedom is crucial, and many in the electorate trust that you will continue to defend these values. I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for your dedication to serving and looking after the interests of the electorate. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we hope to see further support for these vital issues.
