The senior ministers, an unholy alliance and the documents the government doesn’t want you to see
The NSW Parliament is experiencing significant turmoil as Labor ministers face expulsion amid rising tensions with opposition and crossbench MPs.

- ▪Penny Sharpe, leader of the minority Labor government in the upper house, is facing a two-week expulsion from NSW parliament.
- ▪Transport Minister John Graham was also expelled from the Legislative Council shortly after Sharpe.
- ▪The alliance against Labor includes members from the opposition Coalition, the Greens, and independent Mark Latham.
