					<description><![CDATA[Giovanna Debono&#039;s insurance policy has not worked.  

She invested heavily in Anton Refalo and Labour kept quiet about the works that were carried out by the Works Department because many of them were for the benefit of Anton Refalo or his canvassers.  

All of Gozo knows this but nobody speaks out.  On election day, cementing took place in front of a restaurant in Marsalforn that belongs to Anton Refalo.  

Things spun out of control because a greedy contractor, who is well known for his overcharging and his bullying, was not paid.

But one should ask why he did the work without a letter of acceptance from the government department concerned. 

He has had his snout in the trough for a long time and now that the chief has changed, he wants to keep it that way. 

It remains to be seen whether Joseph Muscat will now decapitate Anton Refalo who is already heavily maimed.  


What is for sure is that no progress will be registered in Gozo unless people emancipate themselves from these feudal practices.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Muscat has also somehow distracted us from:

the Cafe Premier scandal;

the Australia Hall scandal;

the agreements with Henley &#038; Partners, Electrogas, Shanghai Electric etc;

heavy fuel oil which is still being used at the power station (notwithstanding the cancer scaremongering);

more than 400 taxes in the Budget for this year;

Konrad Mizzi&#039;s finger in the oil hedging contract pie;

*the stalls for hawkers in Ordnance Street;

loads of lies, half-truths and inconsistencies.


The list is endless and I do not wish to abuse of the space in this blog.]]></description>
