MPs should prioritise people's livelihoods, curb shenanigans

LETTERS: It's unfortunate that the first week of the current parliamentary sitting saw politicians knocking one another down in the hope of scoring points rather than dealing with the most pressing issues in the country.

For instance, one member of parliament told half-truths about three female influencers who were body shamed online without disclosing why the influencers were dragged into the mud in the first place to paint the supporters of the other political faction as uncivilised and uncouth.

Then, a minister "schooled" another MP in a grandstanding way for lacking understanding of economic growth, perhaps to show just how much the other side basks in rhetoric and being uninformed.

Whatever happened to educating and not berating?
