The Malta Independent is running a story today called Labour acolytes ride the gravy train to Las Vegas. It’s about how Malta’s official delegation to a gaming convention in Las Vegas is made up of party officials, party acolytes and non-senior members of the Lotteries & Gaming Authority, all on one massive freebie jaunt.
And they don’t even have the good sense to keep quiet about it. Here’s one Sharlene Maronese, who works at the Lotteries & Gaming Authority, freshening up her Facebook profile picture with a photograph of herself and her husband at the Grand Canyon, and a reference to her champagne breakfast (as naff as you please, but there you go).

Were the husband’s accommodation costs and the food bills charged to the taxpayer as well?
Once, during my University days, I had a conversation with a member of the Ghaqda Zghazagh Socjalisti (predecessor to FZL). I remember this member complaining that “dejjem l-istess nies isiefru fuq konferenzi”. She was referring to the conferences organized by Socialists International.
It seems that they have been waiting for all these years to unleash this chip called “safar, vakanzi u xalati”.
What I’ve always noticed about the Maltese is that you think they’ve hit rock bottom, but then somehow they still manage to surpass themselves.
More specifically, Labour. My expectations are never high, but they always sink lower than I expect them to. Is it me?
Years have passed but they’re still the same bunch of parasites. Socialists, my arse.
Socialism doesn’t feature anymore. It’s a cause which you fight for, but becomes redundant once you’ve made it..or think you’ve made it.
Champagne Socialists and their champagne breakfast in Nevada.
I love the dress code: Maltese hamalli et de Grent Kenyin. Tenks to de jopp off her et de Geymink Awtoritee.
Well she is married to an Italian – they are experts in milking the system.
U ejja, Daphne. Hallihom jiehdu naqra pjacir. Msieken ghamlu hamsa u gghoxrin sena jbatu l-guh u l-ghaks that in-Nazzjonalisti.
Love the handbag. Perfect for the Nevada desert.
…and the “Italia” shirt. Lovely.
Sharlene – progeny of a diehard Mintoffian family from Hal Kirkop. No wonder she was selected for the delegation.
Her husband is really stuck in a moment. What’s going on with the hair or what’s left of it? So proud to be Maltese.
OK, now take three steps back and say ‘cheese’.
