The rhetorical style is serious, factual, and critical, especially concerning government inaction and budget cuts. The speaker balances legal analysis (improvements to the draft bill) with emotional concerns regarding vulnerable groups and the burden placed on parents. Direct accusations and acknowledgments (e.g., to journalists) are used to emphasize the need for advocacy, and the tone is concerned rather than conciliatory.
