The Malta Independent gave a teaser on what we can expect when the Primary Health Care Reform paper is published in the new future, via an interview with Parliamentary Secretary Joe Cassar. It also carried an alarming story implicating Malta in the production of toxic waste which made some 30,000 people ill in 2006.

The Sunday Times raises the possibility that Speaker Louis Galea could be made an MP in a casual election should John Dalli accept the post of European Commissioner, and also announces that its sister company Progress Press will be investing €26 million in a new factory in Mriehel.

Illum dedicated its front page to a photo promoting a series of articles it intends to carry about the claim that Karm Grima had shot then Prime Minister Dom Mintoff in 1979, which it says had never been proved.

KullHadd goes for political intrigue and reports on the fact that while Finance Minister Tonio Fenech managed to produce receipts to show he had paid for work on his home, he did not produce VAT receipts, and that there were anomalies between Mr Fenech's version and that of the contractor who was supposed to have done the work for free in return for the minister's intervention on the sale of Jerma Palace Hotel.

Political back-slapping on il-Mument, however, which had a story about €27 million being spent on the construction of 6 schools, on the jobs that were being created by recently-announced investment, and on the fact that Labour MPs applauded their leader's speech in Parlliament - which is not allowed by House rules.

It-Torca blames the power cuts of last week on lack of maintenance and neglect - but rules out sabotage - as well as a story on a school in Malta and another in Gozo being investigated in connection with a case of cyberbullying.

And finally, MaltaToday continues with its series of stories about George Fenech, saying that if his company Tumas Group were to win the 10-year casino contract for the Dragonara, it would mean he owns 90 per cent of the €20 million a year sector.
