Mr.Vassallo, you are advising us about JM's promises but forgetting about the 5700 Smart City jobs which Dr.Gonzi had promised us! This just to mention one of the many GonziPN boosted stories. You open TVM news today and you see so many such dreaming stories being promised again by the GonziPN team!! As if anyone is believing them now!!!

And you're trying to advise us about what this promising leader is talking about!!! Why don't you looking back home and see what your leader had done first and then try to advise us about our leader!!

or smart city...operating at full blast...with 7000 ghosts.

or maybe ST that did not face any probs and did not wage freeze...and lived happily ever after.

HSBC Malta did not lay off people...but increased people...and is offering banking graduates a good job...and not employing them as clerks.

We are prospering so much on this island...that we got a €500 / week salary increase...while the Cabinat only took €1.16

face the facts...many graduates are not even finding decent jobs...many graduates are working as clerks...just check out the B Com banking & finance and management students...run some statistics on them and you will be surprised that most have been working as bank clerks for the past 5 years since they graduated.

@ Angelo Vassallo

Thank you so much for not denying or contradict the statistics that I posted regarding the unemployment and forced emigration under various PN ( Partit Negattiv ) administrations.

As far as I know the Emigration Department was created by the 1947 Labour Administration to help those persons who wanted to emigrate. Because before 1947 thousands of Maltese had to emigrate because of lack of work. But every administration before 1947 did not gave financial help to the emigrants. The creation of the Emigration Department was of great help to many Maltese. So much so that every PN Government after 1950 did not abolished the Emigration Department.

In 1956 the new Labour Government under Dom Mintoff created the Labour and Social Welfare Department. So every unemployed worker was employed through the Labour Office and not through the Office of the PN's Ministers. As it was the producure before 1956.

Also because of the various social services that the Labour Administration under Dom Mintoff introduced. It was also created the Social Welfare Department by the Labour Government.

Of course it's not original; you have such a competent photocopier in the PN. Labour is basing its campaign in the present time frame,and putting a smile on our faces at the same time. But then even the PN are making us smile ,especially when Tonio said that the PN had created 20,000 jobs in the past four years. And all Labour needs to make its posters effective is to put APG's picture on them to remind us of the high electricity bills,the Arriva fiasco, the traffic chaos over half the island, BWSC, and so on. And where was PBO,the guy who told us that the PN is poorer than the PL (another round of laughs) and emailed us a begging letter for money to pay for the posters? My, he found the money really fast didn't he? Must have found the lost phone numbers of the PN's super rich donors. And mind your English,J.

If you want to be reasonable compare the situation in Malta with other countries of the European Union today. In Spain one in four of the working force is unemployed. The NP government has grounds to be proud of its achievement but no one would expect you to admit that truth.

Francis Saliba M.D.

Aug 3rd 2012, 22:13

@ Claris Galea, today at 19:58.

With my M.D. in Mintoff's time I was deprived of my employment as Police Medical Officer by a (failed) attempted frame up intended to have me dismissed from the service. When the attempt failed I was just the same illegally compuslory retired. To add insult to injury I was obstructed in my return to private practice as a GP by being deprived of an essential office telephone when telephones (such as they were) were freely available to labourites who did not need them. Patients who were referred by me to hospital were met with unjust unprofessional criticism of their use of my services and they were sent home with a handful of useless medicines when what they needed was an urgent operation.

That is the true history of life under the MLP. I am not surprised that you hate to be reminded of it. The Maltese man in the street measures his well-being by the cash in his pocket not by the "flus fil-kaxxa tal-gvern".

VINCENT WILLIAMS

Aug 3rd 2012, 21:06

@ Joe Micallef

When PN supporters are politically cornered with their own Government's statistics. Their only argument is that of rewriting history. The statistics that I quoted are not 'Rewriting history' but 'history.' If in doubt consult the local newspapers of that era.

The corps for the unemployed under Labour were far and far better than the forced emigration because of lack of work under the PN (Partit Negattiv ) administrations. So much that between 1962 and 1970 under various PN Governments. More than 40,000 had to emigrate against their wish to various countries. And that is a fact not a 'Rewriting history.'

@ G. Grech

When Europe and other countries where booming during PN (Partit Negattiv ) administrations. In Malta the unemployment and the lack of work where the topic of the day. So much so that more than 40,000 Maltese had to emigrate to countries in Europe and elsewhere.

Today there are thousands of workers who their main job is that of a part-time. And there are also a great number of workers working in precarious jobs with minimum wage.

There is alot more to say----and i do not know why Pl do not mention the past of the PN----there is a lot to say!!!! just read and know the truth!!!! Of course there were mistakes----who does everything perfect-----even in Dr.Fenech Adami's time there were mistakes----I do not need to mention these last five years----cause there were super mistakes!!!!! Just look at the tower of Babel inside the PN ---and one can notice very clearly the "disfatta' within the party!!!!

Guess you're forgetting the thousands of jobs created in the financial, pharmaceutical and gaming industries. Do you really expect the present government to do what labour did when he employes people with the government to attract voted. Or create another Dejma? Those companies you mentions reduced their workers but luckily enough employment in Malta is still of the highest in the EU. People who do not work either do not want to work or don't know how to work. Then there are the others who work and register with the ETC. Malta is a heaven on earth. But you labour supporters live in misery as you don't want to accept it that Malta is a great country. The only thing that will put a smile on your face is seeing Joseph walk up Castille stairs. This will give you much more pleasure and a secure job.

@Mr. Vella
The voter who wants change cannot vote Labour. The Labour Party, under Joseph Muscat, unlike under Alfred Sant, has managed to resurrect the dinosaurs that stifled Malta in the 1970s and 1980s. Some of the “new” faces of Labour are persons who were ministers when some of our present Cabinet members were not even born.

It was already difficult for Alfred Sant to beterise economy, so imagine what will it be for Muscat.

Steve Pace

Aug 4th 2012, 09:14

@Antonella Birffa - If labour had to really focus on the issues which are relevant rather then as they say in maltese "Jirkbu il Karrijiet ta haddiehor" their gains would be surprisingly high. Unfortunately they are missing a lot and in my opinion they themselves are even out of touch with people. PN's policies and projects are based on EU funding and standards . Labour could offer so much more, if only they forget whatever the PN is going through and focus on their own plans and projects. So in this i totally agree with you., However i am sick and tired of seeing Gonzi doing Kamikaze attacks every time an issue comes out.

At the first sign of trouble an early election would have probably saved him, cut the "you know what" of those defectors and start from fresh if he won. However he was and still is not confident of a win and therefore is only using delay tactics .

I am also sick at seeing blatant hypocrisy when it comes to austerity measures. Whilst our monthly bills have gone sky high, nothing has been done to curb down on the excessive expenses list the same government is drawing every month. A personal experience this week with a government department left me utterly shocked. I was informed that the clerk on duty could be contacted after 1.00pm since he was on overtime ! OVERTIME ?????" where is Time in lieu ? and besides what the heck is this guy doing overtime when he has half days ??? In short just tell me what austerity measures has Gonzi adopted within his own government ? perhaps increase his weekly salary by EUR 500 ???

Robert Agius

Aug 4th 2012, 01:25

Focus on job creation, right, and they do that by not hiring someone to come up with something original but copying this, right?

Work, justice and freedom was the motto if i remember correctly. PN totally forgot about the last two. A for work. Not sure which is best - being unemployed or working for peanuts. Also, not sure i can believe the stats considering all the people working part-time these days. PN might see stats as an advantage for them but for me, they have lost all credibility and I distrust any kind of stats being fed to me.

Someone needs to explain to me how after year and year of growth, investments, finanzi fis sod etc one financial crises cause such a mess (or more like a perfect excuse if you tell me) without anyone actually taking responsibility. Time to start questioning the whole system top to bottom and our view of what actually constitutes 'progress' in my opinion. We have been taken for a ride while a few made their pockets fat at the expense of entire nations. Starting from the EU which insists that austerity measures are implemented yet we have hardly heard of any cuts and austerity measures within the EU bureaucratic system. They indeed did contribute to job creations, many of which utterly useless. Helps their credibility, right?

G Schembri

Aug 3rd 2012, 15:30

Letg me inform you that Dirajn il-Maltin u l-Pijunieri trained the workers for better jobs, many trained and got better jobs after a few months. Let me also remind you that although we now have the right to join a union many workers who are being employed on a definite contract cannot join any union because they know they will lose their job as soon as they join.
In WHAT YOU CALL THOSE HORRIBLE DAYS, University students got job experience and job security as well as at least a minimum wage, some could also afford to buy their own house, because you could easily have your own house with less than 10000 pounds, and the government helped you by subsidising the repayment rates. In those days women had the choice of working or staying at home to take care of the kids, because a family could afford to live on one wage. The present government only invested in jobs that don't pay well, in jobs where there is no security and were only the contractors' pockets become fatter.

Gobon li kienu ipprovaw jixtruna bieh l-inglizi biex nibilaw l-Integration li ried iwikkijna Mintoff. Imma le, bil CARE b'kollox, kien hemm il-mahbub missier Malta li waqaflu lil-Mintoff. U aktar tard kien waqaf lill-Prim Ministru Ingiz meta qallu:"I have not come for a silver collection, I demand my country's freedom." And by Jove, he did get what he demanded. What a great stateman he was. Long live the memory of Gorg Borg Olivier, who confronted the British rundown, the same rundown that Mintoff was not prepared to confront. Guess what, Eddy, the Nostrodamus prediction of 50,000 unemployed never materialized. Yes, even in lorious 60s, the PN government created employment. It was then that for the first time we heard of the words factories, hotels, restaurants and private enterprise, Yes, the PN in government always created, employment, wealth and stability.

Taf x'tah ? £300,000 u gie lura tista tghid idu f'idu ! Ghidilna x'gieb dak in-nhar Borg Olivier, li pero ma kellux il-kwalita ta' arroganza li qed naraw f'Lawrence Gonzi !

Ghadni niftakar qisu l-bierah, lejliet l-elezzjoni ta? 1971, Borg livier jghid li ma seta jghati xej fil-budget, ghax ma kienx hemm minn fejn jaghti !!! Almenu kien onest ! U veru, ghax kif tela Mintoff sab li lanqas flus biex jithallsu l-haddiema tal-gvern ma kien hemm . U kellu jkun Gaddafi li silif il-flus lill-Mintoff biex ikunu jistghu jthallsu l-haddiema tal-gvern !

Rigward ix-xoghol li ghidt li nholoq fis-snin 60, tista tghidilna mela ghaliex kellhom isiefru mat 28000 ruh lejn l-Awstralja u l-Kanada dak iz-zmien ????? U bdew gejjin lura fis snin 70 meta tela gvern laburista ????

There were no queues waiting for admission at St Luke Hospital in Mintoff's days, not as long as other private clinics e.g. St Catherine and the Blue Sisters had not been suppressed by the MLP.

Today there are long queues at Mater Dei in spite of many other competing private clinics of high standards.

In 1996 when MLP was in power every one remember what difficulties the Employee and the employers had to go thru because Alfred Sanat introduced CEt instead of Vat and with all of the promises by MLP if they are in power the only one's suffering will be us because to keep up he has to introduce some other tax like the 22 new kinds of taxes introduced by alfred sant in his first budget.

David Bailey, the Church you are blaming is that which many years before the Socialist Goverments gave education, good health care, opened orphanages and in the evening many of its members took care of the children, opening free of child to today called child care centres through the Oratory, Museum, etc. So, just stop attacking the Church, you that know nothing about it.

In the 60s it was true that the Church ruled supreme but poverty was eradicated in the 70s under Mintoff's rule.

G Schembri

Aug 3rd 2012, 12:52

If they compare to the "glorious sixties" the long queue would be for the ships to Australia, that was the the government's + Church (another Gonzi) solution for unemployment. As for poverty I can still remember beggars in Valletta and knocking on doors. Poverty was only eradicated in the seventies under Mintoff , who introduced better social services, minimum wages, and free hospitalization.

John L Galea

Aug 3rd 2012, 13:09

@David Bailey: You should revise your history facts. Poverty was eradicated by the MLP's PM Mintoff during the 70's. The church's function was only to keep people ignorant to retain power and......

G Schembri

Aug 3rd 2012, 14:57

@ Ernest Vella- What church educated children years before the socialist government? Or rather which children did it educate, the chosen few? For the rest the church used to tell the parents that education would only lead to hell. What health care the only health care provided by the church were private hospitals which also where for the chosen few, those who could pay. We all know why many of the orphanages were opened now don't we, and what we heard is just the top of the iceberg. Just ask any person who was brought up in an orphanage how they were treated, Oh yes some of them took very good care of the children in the evening making sure we were brainwashed into hating Mintoff and all he stood for, I clearly remember the Franciscan sisters comparing Mintoff to the devil and I was still about 4 or 5 years old, and child care centres where not free, the Franciscan Sisters made sure we paid our monthly fee, or else we were told in front of the other kids to bring the money. MUSEUM made sure we did not get a Socialist government blowing whistles throughout any MLP meetings and teaching children chants against Mintoff and his supporters.

Working conditions and salaries are the lowest in years and not unemployment. People working for a few hours a week are considered employed by the government but not by the Banks when they apply for a loan.

@G Schembri

i totali agree with you i am one who i paying that price, but it is better to be emplyed, in any sort of form than nothing

G Schembri

Aug 3rd 2012, 15:09

@ F Pisani No it is not better to be employed under those conditions, while the Prime Minister and his regime get a weekly wage raise of more than you earn in a month while the regime holds frequent parties that cost more than the monthly wages of more than 100 employed like you. Under a Labour government there was a wage and price freeze, Both workers and Parliamentarians were not given any raise in pay while the prices where as low as possible, as soon as things got better everyone was given a raise in salary, in the 70s before the MLP government workers were lucky to get 4 pounds a week in wages at the end of the Labour government we had the minimum wage which saw workers getting at least 30 pounds a week, now many workers don't even get the minimum wage which is about 60 pounds. In the past 25years workers have lost all they had gained under an MLP government.

Aug 3rd 2012, 14:18

Dear G Schembri working conditions are not only made up of wages but also income tax rates where many countries have a flat rate of 30 or 35% irrespective of whether one has a minimum wage or higher . Every one has to pay a flat rate.
Out of those high salaries one also has to pay for many other services , education, health, medicines even though one pays income tax.
Taxes are higher in nearly all other countries and Malta has one of the best social policies to help those in need.

Ftakar illi hafna mill-haddiema kienu ta' certa eta, u kif taf difficli hafna li jigu impjegati dawk ta' 45 jew aktar, u dawn statistici ufficcjali. U lanqas hawn xoghol ghal dawk li ghandhom ferm inqas zmien ahseb u ara! Tghid ma laqghethomx il Palumbo?! Nissuggerilek tistaqsi lil ta' Selmun Palace fost l-ohrajn jekk sabux xoghol minnufih.

Bir-rispett kollhu, m'huwiex korrett li tghid li hadhu somma sabiha jew li sabu xoghol. J'Alla gara hekk, imma sincerament nahseb illi tkun qed tinsulthom wara li tifu hobzhom, fosthom koppji zaghzagh li kienu jahdmu fl-istess fabbrika u anke rgiel bil-familja li ilkoll ghandhom xi forma ta' loans mal-Banek u committments ohra li sabu ruhom f'bahar ta' nkwiet.

Il weggha li wiehed ihoss meta jitlef ix-xoghol hija kbira, naf x'igifieri jien bizzejjed, meta wiehed jiftakar li kien il PM Lawrence Gonzi stess li ftahar li 'xoghol jigri wara l-haddiem'. Tiftakar Preter?

Aug 3rd 2012, 23:53

@Philip Hili,
You did it again,confusion! if you don't know the facts don't say anything!

Here is some history for the benefit of those who tend to believe you since they don't know nor lived the reality, the facts! Therefore I did a bit of history research even though I lived and know the facts!
In 1959, the then HM Malta Dockyards was privatised by the Colonial Government as Bailey (Malta) Ltd. Bailey and the British Government soon fell foul of each other over the use of development funds and the eventual court case was only settled in the 1980s. Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson were appointed Managing Agents and the Malta Drydocks became the property of the Maltese Government by means of the Independence Treaty of 1964. For various reasons, the shipyard was registering an abysmal performance and Swan Hunter and the PN Government had frequent differences of opinion. In 1968 Government enacted the Drydocks Act and appointed a supervisory board with Swan Hunter retained on an annually renewable contract. Swan Hunter claimed that this annual renewal clause prevented them from making long term plans. The 1971 Mintoff Government fired Swan Hunter. With Suez closed, making the Mediterranean a shipping backwater, and with a poor industrial relations reputation, the shipyard was doing badly. Mintoff addressed the management with the threat that unless there was an immediate improvement, he would address the work force. Six months later, in 1973 he held the now legendary Pjazza Gavino Gulia “Bocci” meeting where he gave all and sundry a harsh bollocking.
This action seemed to work because in 1974 Malta Drydocks made its first ever profit.

So the reason your uncle left to Australia, so you said is somewhere here and not as you implied. If he stayed around he would have had a guaranteed job until EFA and Gonzi made everybody redundant.

As regards to the cruise liners you mentioned, if queueing for boarding means that many tourists are visiting our islands then how come the hotels are changing to homes for the elderly and apartments? And what about the income from tourism, why does the minister when talking about figures talks only on the head count rather than the income, money wise??

@Philip Ħili,
Int veru ma tafx tistħi! Tiġi tgħid li "Ftit tal-granet wara kellu t-twegiba"? (qed nassumi għal Alfred Sant qed tgħid).
Issa, min kellu tweġiba, min bil-kemm ġab biss 1,580 vot f'maġġoranza RELATTIVA u wara li ħarriftu kemm flaħtu fuq Alfred Sant fil-każ tal-'Mistragate' meta llum nafu minn kien il-giddieb, dik hija tweġiba??? Ħa, Ħaħaaaaaaa.
Fl-elezzjoni diżgustanti li qatt kellu l-PN, tinsix li l-PL kellu jagħti 4 deputati lil PN biex jifforma l-gvern. Issa llum nafu wkoll li dawk l-1,580 vot li l-PN kien seraq fl-elezzjoni bihom, kienu voti kollha dovuti lil JPO u li ħadhomkom u magħhom ħadilkom 3,545 vot ieħor biex jifforma l-indipendenti. Mela fejnha l-maġġoranza llum, sur Philip Hili??? U ħalli nfakkrek li Alfred Sant meta sab ix-xkiel, sejjaħ elezzjoni u llum l-Prim Ministru Gonzi jrid l-approvazzjoni mhux ta' viċi PM jew Ministru, imma ta' 'BACK BENCHER', mhix tal-mistħija din jew?!

Kif ma ndenjatx issemmi għalmenu meta fl-1996 kien hemm EFA li ma riedx bl'ebda mod jemmen li kien tilef b'7,633 vot u mhux b'1,580 u ħareġ jagħjjat bil-frażi tal-'PHOTO FINISH' f'Ta'Qali, hekka 'PHOTO FINISH' kienet!

Mela l-voti hsibthom pastizzi? Bhalxejn mhux qieghed tghid li dawk li afdaw lil dan id-deputat zlejali lejn il-PN issa saru kollha indipendenti!!!!! Jekk veru tahseb hekk, ha nieqaf ghax qieghd nahsel ras il-hmar biex nahli l-ilma s-sapun u z-zmien!!!

Intom dejjem l-istess min mhux magħkom kontra tagħkom. Mela jekk wieħed jiżbalja u jipprova jirrikonċilja tagħjruh "żlejali". Imma jekk jagħmel kif qal Gonzi lil FD, "attakka kemm tiflaħ lil PL" hekk sewwa!! Hekk għamiltu lil Alfred Sant fl-2003 u fl-2008 u ara x'ġara, iż-żejt tela f'wiċċ l-ilma u llum nafu fejn huma l-giddiebin!!

Well Mr. Hili, the PN was not able to find me a job, so I had (like thousands of others) to emigrate away from my family, something that it seems you never experienced. I was only 19 years old at that time with no vote. The reason given was that my grandmother was a Striklandjana and my uncle a Mintoffjan.

@ Anthony Grech

First and foremost, why do I have to believe you that you had to emigrate to Australia? If this is true, now it is also true that you returned to Malta because you can have a job now. I don't blame you to return to your home country!!! Then, why the PN had to find you a job? It should have been you, with your ability to get a job according to your ability and not the PN. Mela l-PN qatt kien xi agenzija tax-xoghol? Il-PN kien, ghadu u jibqa' dak il-Partit fil-Gvern li JIKKREA ix-xogol (to create work). So please don't take me for a ride!!!

As regards to "grandmother was a Striklandjana and my uncle a Mintoffjan." it is very easy to find excuses and blame the government of the day with excuses of this sort. I am not saying that at that time there was full employment !!!! as we have now!!! But please do not bring nonsense excuses.

Nahseb li hadd ma hadem dak iz-zmien ghax kienu ex. Striklandjani jew Mintoffjani!!! u hallina tippruvax t'ghaddina biz-zmien ghax bhalek konna nghixu dak iz-zmien.

Anthony Grech

Aug 6th 2012, 23:59

Who told you that I emigrated to Australia?
As for believing me or not I do not give a dime.
According my ability your partito did not care. When I emigrated I sat for an exam for the same job, and guess what Mr Hili? The Country that I emigrated to was not Malta of the DNUB MEJJET.
No Mr Hili, the Partito Nazzjonalista did not give me the job I was entitled to, because of the reasons I told you. Of course you do not have to believe me, as much as I do not believe you or your Capo or Gonzipn who promised a lot and gave only words.
For your information I returned to Malta when there was a Labour Government.
