Dear ,

****{Introduce yourself and say something about your faith}****

I am writing to express my concern about the Government’s recent secret consultation regarding "conversion therapy" legislation. It's troubling to learn that this consultation process has excluded many faith groups, who were not even informed that it was taking place. This lack of transparency undermines the principles of a democratic society, where all stakeholders should be given the opportunity to contribute to discussions that may impact them significantly.

It appears the Government may be considering adopting legislation similar to the Victorian model, which has been criticised for restricting freedom of speech and religion. It's worth noting that both New South Wales and South Australia rejected this model after conducting extensive consultations with faith communities, recognising the importance of balancing the need to prevent harm with protecting fundamental freedoms.

I am keen to know your stance on this matter. Will you hold the Government to account on this legislation, ensuring a more inclusive consultation process? Will you advocate for the protection of basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech and religion? Your leadership on these issues is vital, and I urge you to stand up for these fundamental rights. Thank you for considering my concerns; I look forward to your response.
