Opposition leader Simon Busuttil said this morning that the fact that the prime minister had not commented on the latest revelations regarding Gozo Minister Anton Refalo led one to wonder whether he had lost control over his ministers’ behaviour.

Dr Muscat made no comment yesterday after The Sunday Times revealed that the minister had phoned a canvasser employed by Gozo Channel, and not the duty manager, to complain that a ferry had not picked up passengers from Cirkewwa. The ferry was later ordered to turn back.

Dr Muscat also did not answer questions by the Times of Malta during an event this morning, telling the reporter to ask him at another event.
