Joseph Muscat and the Tumas Group: double standards

In 2009, Opposition leader Joseph Muscat kicked up a stink because Finance Minister Tonio Fenech travelled to watch a football match with (the late) George Fenech of the Tumas Group, in a plane owned by that company, when the Finance Minister was responsible for casino licences and the Tumas Group owns casinos.
Today, the Minister for the Economy, and not the Finance Minister, is responsible for casino licences – but Chris Cardona is living free of charge in a luxury flat at Portomaso, loaned to him by his drinking-buddy Silvan Fenech of the Tumas Group, who cosily lives in the flat next door.
What will Muscat say this time? It is his own minister who is tarnishing his government’s reputation.
