Mr GMail says: “I never had sex with that woman”

(Cafe) Premier Muscat is now pushing the envelope a little too far, wouldn’t you say.

Denying being involved in the negotiations despite that big, fat NAO report – and now even making out the (ex) Commissioner of Lands to be a liar.

Of course the Commissioner of Lands wasn’t forced to sign the deal. He could have resigned before signing it, instead of resigning afterwards – and it would have been signed by his immediate replacement.

But the bottom line remains the same: the (ex) Commissioner of Lands objected strongly to the deal and resigned because of it and other similar dealings like the government’s corruption over Australia Hall: dropping the repossession suit so that the Labour Party could sell the place to private developers and fill its coffers.

If anybody was to sell Australia Hall, it should have been the government, with the money going into the public coffers and not the Labour Party’s, or the place restored for public use instead of being sold.

Of course the (ex) Commissioner of Lands resigned. Any decent, self-respecting person would have done the same.
