Queensland had the Fitzgerald Inquiry and the Moonlight State. New South Wales has Eddie Obeid.

Meet Australia's most corrupt politician whose brazen misdeeds were said to be on a scale "unexceeded since the days of the Rum Corps".

From the shadows Obeid ran the state as his fiefdom, making and unmaking premiers.

His tentacles stretched through all levels of government, encircling almost every precious resource - coal leases, Circular Quay cafes, marinas, even the state's water. All of them were secret money-spinners for Obeid and his family.

Above ground, below ground, in the air, on the water, there was no domain beyond Obeid's grasp. Now, many of the key politicians of his era have given a candid account of Obeid's pernicious backroom influence.

Following their groundbreaking investigations, the award-winning journalists 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.

He Who Must Be Obeid The Untold Story eBook Kate McClymont Linton Besser

25 plus chapters of Australian corruption and stealing from the Australian public.

Stories about the old boys network in Australian State politics and Australian federal politics.The old boys network alive and well.

How greed dominated New South Wales.....the largest state in Australia and the powerhouse/ centre of the Australian economy.

How basic checks and balances have failed in Australia. The cost to the Australian taxpayer must be in the 10s of billions.The time/effort and money that could have been spent on health and education............on infrastructure.

How we have lost 15 years of growth opportunities due to corruption.

I am sure all readers are still in awe at the blatant corruption.The disgracefull behaviour by federal and state politician is simply mind boggling.

Should we all be wondering what has been left out of the book? What stories have been left out?Our politician class that has run amok .The waste and the missed opportunities.

No wonder Clive and Pauline thrive in Australia.Australia has so many levels and layers of politicians and public servants........This is a book full of facts that will make the reader sick. I used to think it was only a tiny percentage.....a tiny,tiny ,tiny number of politicians that were corrupt........This book shows that I was totally in that assumption.Clearly too many had/have their "" noses in the trough"". All the good many politicians/ public servants do will get lost and be forgotten.

This is a great read.
