“It is my settled opinion, after some years as a political correspondent, that no one is attracted to a political career in the first place unless he is socially or emotionally crippled.”
Auberon Waugh
“Partisan party considerations and public funds and cost should not mix.”
Lino Spiteri
“The role was carved out for government backbenchers purely for Nationalist Party reasons, not to satisfy any constitutional and public need, as in the case of Cabinet ministers and parliamentary secretaries, who head the Executive according to the democratic separation of powers.”
“One should not attempt to buy private loyalty with public money.”
“GonziPN is infested with diehards and egocentrics and it seems intent to embrace cant and not to decipher the popular warning accurately. Alas, they are inebriated in power and greed. Come the next general election, we would not want the silent segment of the populace to vote again with its absence and stay at home, lest we would be governed by the hardcore and the insensitive coterie once again.”
Jo Said
“She's probably one of the most well-known foreign correspondents in today's news. She's got that reputation for being tough but still humanizing news. She's such a great role model for women in terms of being able to go into broadcasting. I'd say she's probably one of the most informed and prepared of the international journalists practicing today.”
Cory Armstrong
“We used to have five correspondents. One of ours for health reasons had to retire a year or so ago, and we just haven't found anybody to replace her. It takes a certain type of person to keep up with things like that. It's not high journalism, but it's important news.”
