Panton injured in an undisclosed accident
(CNS): Former premier Wayne Panton has been involved in an accident, according to a message delivered by Speaker Sir Alden McLaughlin this morning ahead of the Throne Speech and Budget Address in parliament. McLaughlin told members of the House at the very beginning of proceedings that he had received a message indicating that Panton had been in an accident on Thursday and had broken several ribs and so would not be attending. The speaker said that Panton might be absent for the entire budget meeting.
No details of what happened to Panton have yet been released. CNS has reached out to the premier to find out how he is and we are awaiting a response.
Friday morning was the official State Opening of the 2023-2024 Session of Parliament, which began with the governor’s Throne Speech, the first delivered by Jane Owen. It was followed by the minister of finance’s Budget Address, also a first for the new premier, Juliana O’Connor Connolly.

I heard he had a fall at his home not a car accident so please get off the Drunk Driving foolishness
Mr. Panton has stated on previous occasions that he abstains from drinking alcohol. Likely an unfortunate accident or similar. Get well soon, Mr. Panton.
UPM is not full of nice people at all !
He tripped and fell, no biggie, he will recover
Wayne you are the best – please rest up and get better soon.
Poor man, he’s had a rough few weeks as it is, I hope he gets better soon.
He isn’t poor
Any time your health is poor you are poor.
My health is poor but I ain’t poor. I’m rich.
You are very, VERY poor.
at least he worked hard for it and doesn’t have your poor standards.
BS, plenty of people work hard and do not get rich. Opportunity and connections are what makes it work!
wishing the former Premier a speedy and full recovery!
Be well, Sir. Rest up, get fit and return swinging.
Do not call him ‘Sir’ enough of that going around.
Don’t call Alden “Sir” either.
Out of all “parties” and independents, only Wayne P and André have my respect and deserve to be called Sir, or Honourable. Respect is earned through holding positions responsibly there, especially surrounded (and outnumbered by) the vulture culture.
I don’t know about the swinging bit but I do wish him a speedy recovery.
Hope and pray for a full and speedy recovery for former Premier Panton.
The only decent premier we ever had. Get well soon Mr Panton.
Very sorry to hear. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Be careful out there, Cayman.
Recover soon Wayne. Your voice is needed in parliament.
Was he breathalyzed or did he call John John to help him out?
Seymour is only interested in helping one person – Seymour!
Wayne does not drink alcohol. So please get off this track!
If I were you I would be more worried about the obvious suggestion that he intervened to protect another MLA from the RCIPS than any inference he had a drink. Great if you are teetotal – less great if you use your power and influence to protect those that are not from the consequences of their actions, be it traffic accidents or assaulting women.
Suggestion? LOL 😂
he doesn’t drink you disgusting insect.
Subtly is not your strongpoint, is it?
