www.direzzjonisuccess.eu - You can find all the recording, all of it... I managed to listen to the first 1hr 24 mins but had to stop as I had other things to do but it goes on for another 30 mins (I think). You can find it all and not a sound clip of it at on www.pn.org.mt! btw... he repeats that famous phrase more during the recording!

Clips not edited? The whole recording was edited in order to put it out of context and misguide the electorate or provide entertainment for the gullible PL supporters present when it was shown. Editing is about managing information in order to convey a message. PL definitely did that and moreso in order to convey a misguiding message.

If this is part of Labour's Code of Ethics for its media and disinformation services, well done for an innovative progressive understanding of "ethics". Sounds akin to using Local Councils for partisan festivities or stating that one would reimburse taxes which were legitimate if elected Prime Minister. Perhaps Labour is just pressing the wrong buttons with ethics. I wonder where the "stil ġdid" of doing politics went, it is certainly not found at Mile End.

@Keith Grech: Dead and buried? Joseph Muscat is misquoting a candidate and using decietful tactics to make him appear like he is saying something which not only he didn't say but he actually said the exact opposite... and you feel that it is dead and buried?

Shame on Dr Joseph Muscat and the Labour Party.

@Joe Galea: PN apologists and spinners?

Let me see if I am getting this.. the Joseph Muscat DELETES the tail end of an argument which Alex Perici Calascione was making with the result that it sounded like he was saying EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what he said. And you accuse the PN of spinning???

I think the only apologies which should be coming are from Joseph Muscat to APC.. but I bet it will never happen!

I cannot understand all this fuss about what Dr APC said during the hunters' meeting. Actually, the cheated hunters and trappers have been saying what he said all along!

I think that the PN apologists are trying to alienate hunters from the actual problem. These have already been deprived of two consecutive Spring Hunting Seasons. Dr APC has stated that agreement that Spring Hunting will not be effected is documented black on white. I urge him to publish such documentation. Only then will hunters, trappers and their families be respected and treated in a rightful manner.

Please stop this political saga and let us have FACTS! All those commenting and trying to defend the PN and accusing the PL should remove their political blinkers! The Maltese citizen has a right to be treated fairly by its Government.

Dear MR.APC there is no NEWS.........HUNTERS surely agree of what you said what makes me wonder is why this meeting was kept secret!!!???maybe because you feel more comfortable behind closed doors so you can express yourself freely????????/?

APC kulma ghamel fl-ispeech tieghu (li trid taghmel sforz kbir biex tifhmu) qaghad jiddefendi lilu nnifsu bhala l-avukat tal-FKNK u li ghamel hafna xoghol, biex jipprova jigbor giehu ghax jaf kemm il-partit tieghu dahak bil-kaccaturi u jaf li issa mhux se jafdawh (aqta dawk li jaraw blu biss). Jigifieri li ghamel JM ma naralu xejn hazin. Imma l-panic li qabadhom tal-PN hu enormi. Ma nafx ghaliex dan l-istress kollu fuq dan id-diskors. U fuq dishonesta' politika ic-champions huma tal-PN ibda minn EFA u spicca f'GonziPN. APC jikkumplimenta l-proverbju "Skond iz-Zokk il-Fergha".

To all PN apologists and spinners:

have you fogotten that the PN at this moment in time is showing a very deceiptful political spot? Have you forgotten the PN's dishonest past and assassination of character, which is being repeated also during this campaign? You are so bitter that even your candidates don't agree with your leaders that you start clinging to every insult you think of and fall to the same tactic of the same rhetorics of the "same old PL", "misskom tisthu" , "partit tal-le", and other nonsense like this. It seems that JM is hitting you on your last vital parts, since your party has lost soul and conscience and even the brains.

I listened to the whole recording, I don't know what's all the fuss. APC said those words and I found nothing wrong in what JM said. Remember that APC was the lawyer of the FKNK who knew what was brewing in the EU accession package and played the cheating game against the hunters. The hunters believed him and now they have to suffer the consequences of their own actions.

It's extremely surprising to read comments Mr.Sapiano's expressed, that the upcoming elections are unimportant. Definetely not in line with the Prime Minister's. He certainly falls in the uneducated category. Wake up. Mathew Agius, nisthu min min? Ghax smajna recording reali forsi? Halluna.

What the PL did to my friend and colleague Alex Perici Calascione is inexcusable. Joseph Muscat forgot he is the leader of what is supposedly an alternative government and instinctively acted like a Super 1 journalist. The supposed code of Ethics was thrown out of the window. Apologies by JM to APC and his family are in order.

Labour party is back to its old roots. They may win unimportant elections but they will never win a general election. They really are encouraging people to vote against them once again. Why is it that the Labour party keeps targeting only the angry and uneducated class.

Keith Grech

This issue is dead and buried. The hunting issue, good or wrong, is being decided by the European Courts and we will have to abide by these rules. This sheds some light on how much weight does our accession agreement carry? Is it of any value or can the EU alter it as it pleases? I recognize that this is a living document and it must change over time but alterations to a legal binding agreement must be accepted by both parties. Oh I forgot....logic does not always apply in the political world!

The PL has not edited the clip? What does it call cutting it half way through an argument with the result that it completely reversed the meaning of it? This is dishonest!

I urge all the environmentalists and all those who strive to conserve birds, their habitats and global biodiversity to listen to these recordings. Lawrence Gonzi urged all the hunters to vote for his party because according to him, if they fail to do so, the Greens will win the 5th or sixth seat in the European Parliament and hunting will be put in manifest jeopardy! This is the same man that wants us to believe that he has green issues at heart. Lawrence Gonzi a two faced politican leading a two faced government! He promises one thing and delivers the exact opposite

Part 2

L-agir ta’ Joseph Muscat jikxef l-ipokrezija u d-dizonesta’ li bihom qed imexxi l-Partit Laburista. Dan kollu meta l-istess Joseph Muscat kien wieghed stagun politiku gdid. Jidher car li d-differenza bejn il-PL u l-MLP huwa biss fl-isem meta wiehed iqis li f’dan il-kaz il-mexxej Laburista qaleb ta’ taht fuq dak li qal Alex Perici Calascione.

Part 1

Il-PN ixandar ir-recording kollu tal-laqgha mal-kaccaturi

Hu tal-misthija li Partit Laburista qed jistieden lil Alex Perici Calascione jxandar ‘siltiet ohra’ mid-diskors tieghu u tal-Prim Ministru f’laqgha li saret l-Erbgha li ghadda, meta kien il-Partit Laburista li messu nhar il-Hadd li ghadda fil-prezentazzjoni li ghamel il-mexxej tieghu stess xandar is-siltiet kollha li juru car li Alex Perici Calascione ma qalx dak li qed jallega Joseph Muscat.

Minkejja li Alex Perici Calascione xandar id-diskors tieghu, il-Partit Laburista baqa’ jippersisti f’li jkompli jipprova jimmanipula dak li qal Alex Perici Calascione fl-istess waqt li jipprova jixhet dubju fuq dak li qal il-Prim Ministru waqt il-laqgha. Joseph Muscat qed ikompli jgib ruhu ta’ gurnalist minghajr etika’ li jghawweg il-fatti skont kif jaqbillu.

Filwaqt li l-mexxej Laburista qed isib diffikulta’ jxandar dak kollu li ghandu f’idejh u minflok qed jheda fil-manipulazzjoni u ksur tal-etika, biex jipprova johloq dubji, il-Partit
Nazzjonalista ma jsib l-ebda diffikulta’ jxandar dak kollu li ntqal waqt il-laqgha in kwistjoni.

Ghall-kuntrarju ta’ dak li qed jaghmel il-PL, il-PN ma ghandu l-ebda interess li jghawweg il-fatti. Ghalhekk li l-PN qieghed ixandar il-laqgha shiha bid-diskors kollu li ntqal minn Alex Perici Calascione u mill-Prim Ministru.

Is this the earthquake that Dr Joseph Muscat promised?. Looks like APC was right after all.

By removing the second part of APC's speech he completely changed the meeting of what he was saying!!! Is this what the MLP stands for?

Joseph Camilleri

May 20th 2009, 18:30

well, now that it's been published, what next? what will the MLP claim next?

Filwaqt li l-mexxej Laburista qed isib diffikulta jxandar dak kollu li għandu f'idejh u minflok qed jehda fil-manipulazzjoni u ksur ta' etika, biex jipprova johloq dubji, il-Partit Nazzjonalista ma' jsib l-ebda diffikulta jxandar dak kollu li ntqal waqt il-laqgħa in kwistjoni. Iggudikaw intom issa.

The PN is playing games. They have NOT put Dr Perici Calascione's speech on line - they have put a long, interminable, two-part recording of the whole meeting.

The sound quality is horrible - most of the words are intelligible - and the relevant parts are buried somewhere in the middle.

This has just strenghtened my belief that Dr Muscat is right and the PN has something to hide.
