better still, coconut standing between Kondrad Mizzi and Ian Borg.

Daphne, you had a picture of a carved coconut some days ago, which resembled so much the real C, could you kindly show that photo again? I’d love to print it and stick it on my computer monitor.

Perit Buhagiar (nicknamed Moncici during 1996-1998 hiatus) of Zebbug street lighting fame ?

Buhagiar will be consulted on the revision of all planning policy, down to local plans, specifically building heights.

Whereas the PN had agreed to self-certification to a certain extent, Labour won’t specify the limit.

Buhagiar will also be Joseph’s advisor for the structure plan itself. Musumeci will be the interface in the new authority. Thye made various appearances together on ONE.

To date they haven’t specified what their targets are. With Musumeci we’ll never know.

What matters is that permits can be renewed ad infinitum and policy be subdued to these, rendering any application free of any constraints introduced after its submittal.

It’s so one sided it basically removes the reason for policy, ‘developers’ will be able to do as they please, when they can or feel like it.

Karmeny Vella was very specific when he said that with Labour, applicants will be considered clients who will always be right, or better, the authority always wrong.

No wonder the latest calculations indicate a campaign costing up to 8million euro.

Scandal number 1: appointing Keith Schembri as chief of staff.
Scandal number 2: appointing Mario Cutajar as cabinet secretary and head of the civil service.

Scandal number 3: demanding the resignation of permanent secretaries, appointed by the president, rather than the government.

Scandal number 4: asking board members of constitutional bodies to resign.

Scandal number 5: asking Central Bank board members to resign.

Scandal number 6: asking members of judicial appeals board to resign.

On the 7th day, God rested.

They’re working on it. They’re pulling together a commission to review media regulation.

MPs are now to be paid by the hour, based on the duration of attendance in parliament, remember? Or so Joseph Muscat promised.

But not this year, as JM is implementing the Gonzi drafted budget that JM had made a point of voting down.

So the MP punch clock cannot be put up until the 2014 budget – that is, when the electorate will have forgotten about the whole thing.

Oh behave.

And now Joseph will personally listen to all your individual problems apparently.
