I would be very interested to know if he keeps them waiting on the return trip. Anyone willing to bet that the Aussie authorities will hold the flight for his highness?

In reply to Claude Sciberras.

About the VIP lounge to my knowledge there is the VIP lounge known as the La vallette club and then there is a special departures/arrivals sector which is usually reserved only for government officials and state representatives on official business. To my knowledge this is called the ministerial lounge – as the times reported. The place is nothing special but it allows dignitaries to pass through swiftly and in a manner that shows that they are kept in high regard. If this is the ministerial lounge the opposition leader used i think that he is breaching protocol or the protocol has been changed…

Charles J Buttigieg, Yes my friend BLUE but never green with envy. I’m actually very pleased that you and your family still enjoy the fruit of your hard work at AIR LABOUR so why all this grumping and moaning? Just enjoy life and move on.

In reply to Andy. Some very intelligent observation Andy, that should be on top of our priority list when assessing who is the best person to lead this country.

‘Yes like they knocked on doors to buy EFA a Mercedes and milk and bread prior to 1987’

Yes before 1987 there were also people knocking on doors to get a government job or government flat, and most of them also paid good money to corrupt people to be able to get this. But that was the order of the day.

Il-LALLU is old enough to remember the statement by Joe Debono Grech ‘ il-bieb tieghi miftuh ghall-Laboristi biss.’

Oh mate, what I find amusing about this DownUnder “epic journey” of Joseph Muscat is not just the shameful delay on the Luqa tarmac, but what actually happened in the country of the Waltzing Matilda.
1. Joseph Muscat meets the PrimeMinister on 24 May, but no mention on the PrimeMinister’s official website:
http://www.pm.gov.au/
2. If you google Joseph Muscat Kevin Rudd, you will find no reference to this meeting anywhere on the Australian media, Australian Labour Party website, or KevinPM’s Twitter! The only posts are in the Maltese media. Quite unusual, given the sizeable Maltese community in Australia and that a federal election is due in Australia in a few months. One would have expected the ALP and Labour government to advertise this as widely as possible from Perth to Sydney to rally the Maltese vote.
In fact, it probably explains the timing of Joseph Muscat’s visit on an invitation by the ALP.
3. Now have a look at the pictures of the meeting.
See how it is reproduced on l-orizzont:

Mr. Rudd with his left hand in the pocket meeting the Great Leader. Well, that is some fair dinkum justice done for the injustice suffered by those passengers on the Emirates Malta-Cyprus flight of 19 May.

In reply to Charles J Buttigieg. Grezz, as you said, it takes all sorts to make the world. You are not the wife of the Leader of the Opposition and your future Prime Minister are you?

In reply to Charles J Buttigieg.

Still am, Troy – my wife, my children and I still travel Business Class and free of Charge on Air Labour, and also free and First Class on all world airlines. We will enjoy this concession until I kick the bucket.
How do you feel now Troy, blue and looking green with envy?

In reply to TROY. You gave yourself up Roy,now we know who you are,the Melliehi-Canadian who dreams of Chinese building a bridge between Marfa and Gozo. You are so smart! [Daphne - No, he isn't. I know who Troy is. He's not anonymous to me.]
