'Vindictive, partisan' - Labour on PN's stance on Australia Hall sale

PL releases statement in response to Nationalist accusations that the sale was 'morally corrupt'

In the wake of a press conference held by the Nationalist Party yesterday regarding the sale of Australia Hall in Pembroke, the Labour Party has issued its own statement in defence of its decision to sell the property.

Yesterday, PN MP Ryan Callus called the decision to sell the Hall "morally corrupt", and challenged the Labour Party to return public properties to the government and private properties to the individuals it has been expropriated from.

“Despite the PN’s mud-slinging campaign – one which has been going on for some time – it is pertinent to note that the Hall was given to the Labour party in compensation for part of the Shipbuilding property, owned by the Labour Party and worth much more,” the statement read.

It went on to call the PN’s continued criticism as “vindictive” and done for purely partisan reasons. The party, it continues, would do well to remember that it not only failed its country but itself as well.
