Oh boy, do I just love my international worldwide network of spies – here’s Albert Marshall in Australia, apparently building a holiday home
Now we know why Albert Marshall, Labour government appointee extraordinaire, is in Australia for two months while everything remains on hold at the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts because his first act as chairman was to guillotine CEO Davinia Galea before he left for his e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d holiday.
A member of my international worldwide network of spies has sent me these photographs of Bertie the Garden Gnome hard at work somewhere in Melbourne. It looks like he’s spent the last two months building his holiday home or bringing in his harvest of hay-bales – while being paid by the Maltese taxpayer.
Just look at him go with that barrow. When others are paying him to work for himself, he’s not the lazy git he is the rest of the time.

Is he building a straw hut?
It looks like he’s building a straw bale house. http://www.straw-bale-houses.com/build-own-home.html
He ‘baled’ himself out of his Malta job to make hay while the sun shines.
Aha, building a straw house. Can’t wait till the wind blows.
Or till the big bad wolf shows up.
He is likely to be building a retirement home. Marshall is one of those Maltese people who failed abroad and found manna in Malta. Once he retires he’ll be back to Australia enjoying his Maltese pension.
It looks that he’s doing some community work in the middle of nowhere. There are no services, in that area.
It’s important to keep the glasses hanging by the neck while pushing the wheelbarrows.
Nah! That wheelbarrow full of straw was just fodder for the pigs’ trough to gorge themselves on.
Hekk sew…u ahna hawn nhallsu.
The woman in the white shirt is his daughter. Perhaps he’s helping her build a straw hut. He did say once that his daughter lives in the ‘wild’ leading a very natural life without the luxuries we’re used to.
Wonder who the other two little piggies are?
Way more than three lazy pigs rebuilding their houses right now though.
Ubbly Jubbly innit, get the man back on the rock, we need a feller who can handle a wheelie.
So true, Joe. Albert Marshall worked for a community channel in Australia before returning to Malta and half of Malta does not realise that this extent of his experience, which was partly voluntary, speaks for itself.
So he lands himself the job of PBS boss in 1996 under Sant’s government, and instead of finding ways to nurture new professional talent he thinks that updating equipment would be enough to upgrade TVM. He was so wrong.
He considers himself Malta’s pioneer in television because he produced a soap called Il-Madonna tac-Coqqa. The fact that it was in the 1970s is no excuse for the mediocre production quality.
He is doing work as a missionary with the aborigines.
