Queensland had the Fitzgerald Inquiry and the Moonlight State. Now NSW has ICAC, Eddie Obeid, his nine sons (some of them in-laws) and his many 'friends'... This is the story of how Eddie Obeid controlled (and then brought down) the NSW Labor party, some of Circular Quay's most prominent publicly owned properties, the lucrative coal-mining licences, the streetscape advertising fixtures in the City of Sydney and beyond, the real estate deals, and more. It seems if there has been something on the nose in NSW, Eddie Obeid probably had at least a finger in it. Uncovering new stories daily, this will be up-to-the-minute and mind-boggling. Written by two of the country's most prominent, respected and award-winning journalists, this story will make your hair curl.
