Tensions boiled over in the House of Assembly yesterday in an exchange between Opposition Leader John Hogan and Government House Leader Lloyd Parrott.

Hogan, the former premier, addressed statements repeated by Parrott that he says are simply not true.

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 (Hogan) came in as premier and he knew nothing about it” saying Hogan should “look in the mirror.”
