Chief Minister's heckler explains behaviour in online video

Tuesday, 7 April 2026 16:39

A woman who claims she was the heckler thrown out of the House of Keys last week has expressed her frustration on social media.

The TikTok user posted an online video after a woman was escorted out of the public gallery for shouting at Chief Minister Alf Cannan during a debate on the Steam Packet's proposed new fuel surcharge.

In her video she says she was frustrated and "couldn't keep her mouth shut".

And she also says people should go to watch sittings in the public gallery but adds: "I highly recommend you don't heckle".

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS SOME BAD LANGUAGE
