Inflation, the rising cost of living, national security, and the housing crisis were key issues that dominated the first day of Parliament on Aug. 12.

As the session commenced, the opposition was quick to criticise the government’s handling of the above matters, particularly focusing on the prime minister’s perceived failure to control the escalating cost of living.
