“The Malta Labour Party united itself with the UN’s message – “Don’t let corruption kill development”.”
Dr. Angelo Farrugia
“A Labour government would be honest with the people. The people would accept sacrifices when the country’s real situation was explained to them rather than being told one thing before the election, and something different afterwards.”
Joseph Muscat
“A Labour government would also bring about a generational change in tax collection, shifting taxation from income to environmental issues. In this way, people who were enterprising and were successful because of their hard work would not end up being penalised by paying more tax.”
“A future Labour government would destroy the tax of corruption, in all its levels,”
“Labour government would give stronger investigative powers to the Auditor-General, particularly when witnesses did not collaborate with him. The Auditor-General would also have the right to reopen the BWSC case,”

““Governments need to be able to look people straight in the eye and tell them what is needed, the people know they need to make sacrifices,and that neither government nor the opposition have “a magic wand” that can fix things. But we need to show taxpayers the whole picture, not a picture that changes from one election to the next.”
“Labour would be radically different from the current government with regard to economic growth. For Labour, the generation of wealth would come first. The government was taxing the country dry. But Labour believed that the key to economic growth lay in taxing less to earn more, by stimulating consumer confidence.”
