Dr Simon Busuttil and his party are repeating the same stories they had used in their desperate attempt to turn the electoral tide in their favour since losing power in March 2013, even though all the scaremongering stories had no effect whatsoever! Dr Simon Busuttil and Friends haven`t learnt anything from that second political knock-out!

Once again, they held a press conference to repeat the Australia Hall non-story. They must have run out of scary fairy-tales! They are again saying that the PL had given itself Australia Hall when there had been court proceedings against the PL instituted by the PN government. The incoming PL government had dropped the government case against the PL, while the PL dropped its case against the government on its former Marsa Headquarters and eight tumoli of land, which the government had expropriated for the Marsa Shipbuilding project, giving Australia Hall as compensation to the PL!

To the PN, this is a form of corruption! Would any reader who has his /her property expropriated by the government to be used for a public project, and is given another property somewhere else in compensation, consider that as corruption? Of course not. But for Simon Busuttil and his motley crew it is. Simply incredible!
