House erupts as Wheatley, opposition clash before financial bills vote

Tensions flared in the House of Assembly on Tuesday as Premier Natalio "Sowande" Wheatley and opposition members sparred before the chamber suspended its usual rules to fast-track three financial services bills.

The confrontation occurred at the opening of the session, with both sides revisiting a recent private disagreement. The House proceeded to suspend standing orders to expedite passage of the three bills.
