Some one should post that link to Minister Mizzi.

MALTA’S FOOD PROBLEMS SOLVED –
Joseph Muscat and his crack team of negotiators have returned from the island of Mauritius, where they spent long hours in intense talks to resolve Malta’s growing food shortage.
“We have an understanding that there will be a guarantee on the possibility of an unending supply of the local delicacy, famed for its succulent flesh”, said Muscat at the Mauritius capital’s airport.
“Soon we shall be feasting every night on that most prized of animals – the Dodo.”
“Go out and celebrate this most wonderful news of a Labour success story.”
That’s not so far-fetched. The PL in general, and the government in particular, are full of dodoes.
Not only three days later, but even immediately before:

Dawn kollha laqghat ta’ konvenjenza sabiex il-poplu jigi aljenat peress li diga kien jaf li l-prezz ghal konsumatur kien se joghla. Parti mill-loghba ta’ ngann bil-poplu bahnan Malti li vvota lil Labour.
L-aqwa li ghandna bicca karta iffirmata minn Konrad.
Considering that Joseph had a road map all set up before last March’s election and we were given the impression that all plans were in place for Labour to fulfill the energy tariffs reduction manifesto promise…
The great fuss about the Malta-Libya oil deal made by the government’s propaganda machine leads us to believe that this deal is an added value to that promise (even though now questions arise as regards the oil/gas issue.
Does this mean the promised reductions will come earlier, or at least be doubled?
According to Onor Konrad Mizzi we will buy oil at a reduced price from Libya by the end of this year. Let us wait and see.
Of course we will. The Libyan government will set aside Malta’s oil requirements and dip into its own citizens’ precarious supply.
I’m sure the Libyan state will be dying to give oil away at reduced prices once they get hold of it. It makes sense.
Tripoli update ‘on the street’ as at 4th September – 7 hour power failure, production down to below 100,000 barrels per day, militia threatening to blow up water supply to Tripoli.
I wonder if the deal has something to do with oil exploration in Maltese territorial waters, from which Libya would benefit.
Let us not forget that there is no trouble at sea. Furthermore a couple of labour bazzuzli would benefit from such an agreement. Does it sound similar to Dom Mintoff’s oil agreement?
