Unsurprisingly, Austin Gatt emerges from an MT survey as the most controversial public figure of 2011.

For the transport minister, 2011 was a veritable annus horribilis, whose name was associated with a transport reform that failed to meet the very high expectations it had generated. 

A previous survey by MaltaToday showed that Gatt's performance as Minister was only deemed positively by 10% of respondents. In a highly symbolic gesture, Gatt was called a "fucking wanker" by university student Nicola Abela Garrett.

No For Gonzi ... the street voice of 3,302. A few of the many left out of the GonziPN equation. http://www.facebook.com/pages/NO-FOR-GONZI/299575111320 Is a big fan of Nicola who alone had the guts to show these arrogant W A N K E R S who they really are. However the corruption, democracy abuse, lack of transparency, shameless accountability for actions, arrogance, ministerial misdirection, out of touch with the people, is still rife and the norm. Seeming to last all the way to their close exit out of government with their pay and perks intact. A shameless outcome of the worst government we ever experienced in our history. A questionable year ahead.

My astonishment is how he keeps going on, when he knows that he is totally discarded by a high percentage of the Maltese people. What a face!!!!!! He has damaged everything he touched with his fingers or came under his administration, like, Law Court, SeaMalta, Enemalta, Drydocks, local public transport, taxis, roads, everything and everything that came within his touching distance. He has thrown away millions of our taxes just to please his ego, like the millions he paid to the owners of the old buses, when more or less we had a system which was cheap and was satisfactory, except of some minor adjustments which were required here and there. Surely the conversion to Arriva was not worth all that money which he gave away as if it was his and not our money. What a minister, if you want to call him so for he does not deserve and does not have the credentials to be called so.
