Write down the main points you want to raise on a piece of card...numbered and rehearsed...(just like the MPs do).
1. Present government policy is discriminatory and unfair.
2. It contravenes Human Rights (Family Life).
3. It uses an unfair and unreasonable 'one size fits all' system. (Filipinas being required to take an English test, when they are educated in English in their country, for instance)....just some examples.
As on all of these radio programmes, be prepared to be rushed along and have to put up with foolish and ignorant questioning.
Take and keep control.
If you feel that you are being led down a path of their choosing, don't be afraid to point that out and defend your stance.
Speak clearly and in short to-the-point sentences.
People will then remember what YOU said, rather than the typical knee-jerk comments from some of the ignorant tools who will be phoning in.
