Looks like daddy jumped the gun with that boasting

The Commission for the Administration of Justice has advised the Prime Minister that Ingrid Zammit Young’s proposed appointment to the post of magistrate may well be unconstitutional. Zammit Young herself has written to the Prime Minister to say that she doesn’t want the appointment after all. Read here:

Ingrid Zammit Young’s letter to the Prime Minister

The Nationalist Party has issued a statement saying that the Justice Minister’s decision to make Zammit Young a magistrate – which was approved by his fellow ministers and the Prime Minister – was “irresponsible, illegal, abusive” and “in breach of the Constitution”, and that the government would have gone ahead had the Opposition not kicked up a fuss about it. It said that the Prime Minister should have withdrawn Zammit Young’s name before she did so herself, and that this matter confirms how dangerous the government is.
