Again yesterday two Points of Order were raised in the House of Assembly, this time stemming from an exchange between Opposition Leader John Hogan and Government House Leader Lloyd Parrott on Wednesday.
During Question Period, each accused the other of saying things that were untrue during a testy exchange.
A visibly angry Hogan responded; “he said I did not meet with Equinor. That is not true. He said that there was a national energy agreement that I did not sign, and that is not true. I say to the minister, stop saying untrue things in this House about me. Do your job, show some credibility, and stick to the facts, I’m not standing for it anymore.”
Parrott, undeterred, raised the “secret bonuses” the former government voted for themselves..and how “he came in as premier and he knew nothing about it” saying Hogan should “look in the mirror.”
Opposition House Leader Lisa Dempster and Government House Leader Lloyd Parrott both rose ahead of Question Period yesterday on Points of Order about the exchange.
The Points of Order were raised a day after Speaker Paul Lane expressed frustration with having to deal with “trivial and childish” Points of Order.
