Queensland had the Fitzgerald Inquiry and the Moonlight State. New South Wales has Eddie Obeid.
Obeid ran the state as his fiefdom, making and unmaking premiers. Along the way he pocketed tens of millions of dollars following corrupt deals.
This explosive book chronicles the grubby deals the powerbroker had been making for decades before he was exposed.
Following their groundbreaking investigations, the award-winning Kate McClymont and Linton Besser have unearthed the vast but secret empire Obeid built over decades, producing an authoritative account of how he got away with so much for so long.
Meet the authors at Bankstown for an informative talk.
