Let’s not forget that Owen Bonnici made this woman a magistrate

This is Joanne Vella Cuschieri, a failed Labour Party candidate in the last general election and a close friend of Owen Bonnici, who had her made a magistrate. He seems to like giving state positions to his lady friends, whether they are a couple or not.

I saw her most recently at Charles Grech café in Valletta a couple of weeks ago, in a huddle with fellow Labour magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera, who plonked herself down with her back to me. It can’t have been later than noon.
