Hindsight is such a lovely thing. Is Labour whip Joe Mizzi working for John Dalli now, too?
Joe Mizzi (right) with Anglu Farrugia: looks like we have yet another Poison Dwarf on our hands.
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels: do we have reason to suspect collusion between the Labour whip and the Labour future government for the feathering of John Dalli’s nest?
Well, there was a lot of debate on this website about that some months ago, wasn’t there.
The commission on a $1 billion power plant project is not to be sniffed at. John Dalli worked for Sargas and is pushing this project like mad, and Labour keeps talking about how it’s the solution to all our problems.

NO IDEA OF DALLI’S $1 BILLION ENERGY PROJECT – MINISTER
The government has no idea of the $1-billion energy project that EU Commissioner John Dalli said had been proposed to the government, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech told Parliament in reply to a supplementary question by Opposition Whip Joe Mizzi.
Mr Mizzi had asked for more information on the proposed investment for photovoltaic panels to supply all Malta’s energy requirements at a reduced price, and if the government had been ready to subsidise the project. What had been proposed, and why had it been refused?
Mr Fenech said the government weekly received proposals offering various solutions. Each proposal was analysed by the Malta Resources Authority and, if it was to be involved, Enemalta Corporation. If the project was deemed viable a call for expressions of interest was issued for transparency.
He did not know which project Mr Dalli had spoken about because he had not specifically mentioned any company. Maybe it was one of those projects for which no technical documentation had been presented to substantiate the proposal.
Mr Mizzi asked if Mr Fenech could commit to an early governmental reaction on the status quo.
The minister cautioned that several bodies came forward with initial proposals, but when the government showed interest they piled on new conditions, including the government buying all their production for the next number of years.
There were still a number of open projects because no documentation had yet been received thereon.
Pushed by Mr Mizzi, Mr Fenech said he would have no problem getting in touch with Mr Dalli and relaying any resultant information to the people.

They rant about the national debt but are willing to add a billion euros. Then they tell us energy bills will be slashed. Scary.
I can imagine what Labour’s media reaction would have been if the government had accepted John Dalli’s proposal without the necessary documentation.
SKANDLU: John Dalli, hu Bastjan u eks Ministru ta’ GonziPN, ipappija minn fuq dahar il-poplu.
