It is also unknown if or when authorities addressed the issue.

Transport Minister Makes ‘Bonett’ Joke In Parliament

Transport Minister Makes 'Bonett' Joke In Parliament
Apr 17 2024 Share

During a parliamentary sitting, Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works Chris Bonett made a joke in reference to his surname, which is Maltese slang for the car hood.

Speaking about innovations in local transportation, the Minister took the opportunity to say that innovation in the sector is not reserved for underneath the ‘Bonett’ i.e. the hood of the car.

The joke got a couple of chuckles in the parliament, with Hon. Adrian Delia apparently really liking the joke so much that the Minister had to point it out.

In case you didn’t know, this is known as an aptronym – which is when a person’s name is regarded as amusingly appropriate for their occupation. An example of this would be Usain Bolt, given his athletic speed.
