Please help
You are upset about a recent proposed change in the law. What do you think will be the most
effective way to let parliament know your views? Justify your decision.
[For this sort of question where you have to put out your own opinion, can answers vary to a great extent? I thought maybe petitions would be the most effective because they were the least disruptive, but then I realised parliament doesn't ALWAYS bring forward all petitions :/]
what do you guys think??
My initial reaction would be a petition but for a different reason to you....
The weighting of petitions in parliament increases as the amount of signatures increases. So if you were to get a couple hundred thousand (dont know how hard this would be) signatures to show support you may initiate a change in the law...
You could also potentially argue the use of media. If you were that upset and it effected you badly you could go on ACA or Today Tonight and have a sook and then other sooks would join your cause.This works because television programs often overdramatise issues to gather more viewers which in this case would work
I think with this question as long as you can justify the method as being the most effective you will get the marks.
Answers for this could vary greatly as each person may see a method of changing the law differently... but justify your decision and you'll be right
