Dear Department of the House of Representatives,

Could you kindly provide insights into the communication practices of my MP, Mr. Brian Mitchell, the Labor Member for Lyons? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the criteria or reasons for not responding to certain emails from constituents. Additionally, do you have any statistics or data regarding similar communication practices among other MPs? I believe that open dialogue, even when it involves criticism, is essential for democracy.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Terhorst
