Abstract: | Wayne Flask could not have nailed it better in his excellent reply CA mastershaft for Comino', August 16) to Antoine Attard's blinkered contribution on a future vision for the small island ('A master plan for Comino', August 14). The latter, although probably penned with the best of intentions, has exhumed the haunting spirits of heavy-handed interventions for Comino that are wheeled out from time to time. 'Sustainable development', a term coined in the 1970s by the then Swedish environment minister, has become a cliche hijacked by those advocating for further development so as to assume a veneer of legitimacy (read Attard's Freudian slip 'sustainable growth' - there is nothing sustainable about current tourist flows to, Comino, for instance). |
