Anybody wants a profile of each and everyone of God’s human creations, consult Shakespeare. We’re all there.

In reply to ciccio.

This Government’s tag (or road map) is:

Say anything (as long as is morally, legally and politically nice & attractive) but do whatever is in the interest of the movement, our friends and loyal group.

Poor country! Marketing, marketing and marketing. Muscat’s statements for removal of old politics, inclusion of everyone and to lead as humble as possible as if he has won election by one vote, are nothing but nice talk and nothing else. The opposite is happening.

Is this how politics are done? Is this all you need to have to gain trust of people and power, by being nice and promise the golden future and the preaching of sharing and equality and then nothing is done to these aims?

In reply to PWG. They shoot themselves in the foot every time they say that. The promised meritocracy, didn't they?

In reply to Alf. The best person for certain jobs may be neither unemployed nor seeking alternative employment. It is absurd to put, say, senior management on the same level as a level 1 clerk in the civil service.

In reply to qronfla.

Ghandek xi dubju jekk jafx Joseph Muscat b’din il-bicca tax-control jekk qed tghidlek Daphne li kienet ilha ppjanata?

Daphne, I read “had been earmarked” as meaning before the election. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

We will no doubt get the standard reply i.e. the Nationalists were just as bad. So far Labour has surpassed the Nationalists for indiscretions. Let see if they can better them at managing the country’s finances.

In reply to La Redoute.

When a state entity has a vacancy the ETC is informed and submits details of persons who have the necessary qualifications and who are registering for employment under Part 1 of the ETC register (i.e. unemployed persons). Such persons are requested by the ETC to attend an interview with the prospective employer.

If no interviewees are successful, the ETC grants permission to advertise the vacancy in the press. The ETC also submits details of persons with the necessary qualifications and who are registering under Part 3 of the ETC register (i.e. persons who are employed and who are looking to change employment). These persons are to be interviewed together with applications received as a result of the public call.

If I was one of the unsuccessful candidates, provided that I had the necessary qualifications, I would definitely challenge the decision to employ Ms Boffa.
