PN launches new billboard - 'A better quality of life'
Chris Said speaking about the PN's quality of life pledges.
The PN this afternoon launched a new billboard on the theme Qabza fil-kwalita' (A leap of quality).
The billboard was launched by minister Chris Said, who said the party's priorities, drawn up after extensive consultation, were job creation, quality education that is free, free healthcare and quality of life.
In this context the PN was committed to providing more open and recreational spaces, a better environment and cleaner air.
The people's quality if life, he said, also depended on secure finances and this government had a record of a sound economic performance despite the international turmoil.
Mr Said recalled that under a PN government, elderly people could continue to work and receive their pension. The PN was now promising that pensioners who continued to work would pay less national insurance.
A new PN government would reduce taxes for elderly who had a carer at home.
More public-private partnerships would be established for the provision of daycare centres and homes of the elderly.
Pensioners would continue to receive the cost of living adjustment in full. Those aged over 75 would see their allowance raised to €500 per year.
People in receipt of private or service pensions would no longer see deductions of the government pension.
The PN, he said, was also promising better conditions for widows and persons with disabilities.
Parents of persons with disabilities would be able to enter into a trust agreement with the government about the care of their children after the parents' death. Community centres for persons with disabilities would also be opened.
The PN was also proposing sheltered employment shelters and more employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.

Now that's hilarious. With PN you get better quality of life? I can see that.. poverty line always going up.. despite the 20,000 created job myth we still get an increasing unemployment rate.

Jista Dr Said jiggarantilna li jekk il PN jerga jkun fil gvern hux se jzid il kontijiet ta dawl, ilma, petrol, diesel? Jista jejdilna jekk il prim ministru u l ministri hux se jjiehdu zieda ta Euro 500 fil gimgha? Jista jjedilna jekk hux se jkun hawn nuqqas ta medicini, jispicca il pazjenti fil kuruturi tal isptar, jispiccaw il waiting list ghal operazzjonijiet. Il klikek se jispiccaw ukoll?

Dr Said said that the aim of the PN is 'job creation, quality education that is free, free healthcare and quality of life' - wow how original! This is the stated aim of every politician. The problem is how to do it without creating a 5000 million euro public debt. Here the PN has failed miserably.

Obviously it finally dawned that the Campaign KEY BillBoard with a BLUE BACKGROUND and two citizens featuring on it both of them most artifically gazing possibly at Cosmic Divinity was a non-starter and kept detracting would be unmanipulated , free-thinking voters..............now this BillBoard tantamounts to spatial orbiting, neither here nor there according to the independent experts. TIMETOGO.

What's with gonzipn?
Everytime they put up a billboard they make a press conference,how childish and infantile, treating the people as a bunch of idiots having to explain the meaning behind the bills.
Just imagine this happens i Germany or UK or Italy Sillyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !
Antonella Briffa

and again! judging from your comment I seriously doubt who is more childish! yourself, or the year 4 students, which students have been promised a TOY by Muscat and his BRAND NEW TEAM to win votes!
K Grech
Jan 29th, 19:19
Antonella your comment is a total joke. You know who proposed it first and then copied it? Its not about PN saying it an hour later after PL, but it is about PN that on the first day they say that it will be for all years while on the previous day they say that it is from year 3 till form 5.

A few days ago Chris Said was arguing against quotas for women to sit on company boards. Now Gonzipn has included an election promise to have 40% of places on government boards reserved for women. Chris your credibility and that of your party is in tatters.

'A Better Quality of life" Sure without GonziPN, arrogance, oligarchy, evil clique, a govt for the few etc etc and finally a Govt of GonziPN giving to himself a phenominal rise in their wage of 500 euro per week and to the citizens a miserable rise. 40 days to say bye bye.

Not a very clever slogan and unwitting too.
Just like "Flimkien ghall hajja ahjar" early eighties PN slogan.
Couldn't you guys move on and think of something more original,elaborate instead of looking up your old slogans and re using them?Whom are you trying to FOOL!
Hopeless

In what sense? With all the information seeping out which screams corruption, how will a future PN government make sure that such situations do not arise? Surely not by keeping the status quo in how things are managed and in how ppl fail to take responsibility for things that bestow them.
