On working under Austin Gatt: “I also told him (The Prime Minister) I was fed up of working with Austin Gatt, that he is not a people’s man, that he treats people like obsolete computers.” July 2005, MaltaToday
On partisan politics: “I have no interest in partisan politics. I really dislike this petty Maltese mentality where one is branded red or blue as soon as one shows an opinion. I am born a Maltese citizen. I am not born red or blue. I have also been born with a mind, and I like to use my own not somebody else’s.” June 2005, MaltaToday
After being cleared of any wrong doing in an enquiry on Sea Malta: “I have no doubt that, he would have loved to crucify me if even the slightest peccadillo were to be found… Evidently, my not having been publicly hung, drawn, and quartered by Austin Gatt is certainly not for lack of his trying,” May 2007, MaltaToday
On voting Labour after voting yes in the referendum: “Where’s the inconsistency?” she instantly replies. “Bear in mind at the time I was a private citizen, not a public figure, and really and truly how I voted is my own affair. In any case, I used my vote to get what I felt was the best for my country. Five years ago, I wanted Malta to join the EU, but I also wanted a change in government...” May 2009, MaltaToday
On EU commission proposal to extend maternity leave to 20 weeks: “Such changes in working conditions affect both the employee and the employer. The state of the economy must be taken into account at the time such proposals are made because increasing maternity leave has a financial impact on the employer and this may place financial pressure on the firm which may not be sustainable. However, having said so, I think it is about time we make things easier for working women who are trying to raise a family.” May 2009, Pink Magazine
