This is turning into a How Low Can They Go competition

Gavin Gulia, slumming it with the deputy leader of the Labour Party, who has collected 150,000 euros in taxpayer-funded retainer fees already.

Unlike Malta Sports Council chairman and Labour MP Luciano Busuttil, Malta Tourism Authority chairman Gavin Gulia is not a hamallu. But over the last two and a half years, he has been busily engaged in behaving like one, either because the disease is catching, or because he wants to fit in with all those hamalli like Busuttil and Parnis on the government benches.

The Malta Tourism Authority chairman, who should stand apart from party politics (which is exactly why the chairman should not be a present or former member of parliament or connected with a political party) is currently on the Labour Party’s radio station, Super One, bitching and kvetching about the Opposition leader in a typical Super One politically loaded discussion.

If even people like Gavin Gulia, who should know enough to raise the Labour Party’s standards, don’t, then there really is no hope. If you can’t beat them, join them – hamalli rule, so let’s all be hamalli.

Incidentally, Luciano Busuttil had better stop chewing gum in parliament now that ‘his’ government has raised the tax on it.
