****{Introduce yourself and say something about your faith}****
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed Equal Opportunity amendments put forth by the Greens. It is deeply troubling that these changes threaten the ability of churches and other faith groups to operate in alignment with their beliefs. The bill suggests replacing clear protections for churches and faith communities with a vague paragraph, which is likely to result in significant confusion and legal uncertainties. This ambiguity could undermine the religious freedoms that are foundational to our community life.
The proposed amendments also aim to remove the ability of faith-based schools to create and maintain a genuine community of faith. Such a move would strip these institutions of their unique character and mission, which are deeply valued by many families who choose these schools for their children.
Given these significant concerns, I am keen to understand your position on this matter. Will you commit to rejecting the Greens' bill to protect the rights of faith-based organisations and communities in South Australia? Your response to this pressing issue is highly anticipated and will be invaluable to many constituents who share these concerns.
