There is no limits to labor corruption
Jul 31^st, 2013 at 12:37pm

BREAKING NEWS: TWO former high-profile Labor MPs, Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald, have been found by the NSW ICAC to have acted corruptly and referred for possible criminal charges.
Following the largest corruption investigation in NSW history, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) today handed down three reports.
Commissioner David Ipp has recommended that Mr Obeid and Mr Macdonald be considered by the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) for possible prosecution over their involvement in the Mount Penny coal mine.
Mr Obeids' son Moses, and businessmen Travers Duncan, John McGuigan, John Atkinson, John Kinghorn and Richard Poole were also found to have engaged in corrupt conduct.
Operation Jasper investigated reports that Mr Macdonald rigged a 2008 tender process to grant a coal licence over land at Mount Penny owned by the Obeid family.
It enabled the Obeids to make $30 million, with the prospect of earning at least $70 million more.

Now, how about the Lib Premiers of Victoria and Queensland do the same for the trough dwellers in their party?

The findings only came out today. Yes an enquiry should be held into Anna Bligh and that $20 mil dollars given to unions that day before she left I agree. Now we just need to get Thomson and Gillard’s cases out in the open

But isn't the Lib MP in queensland who would possibly conduct that sunning himself down coast on the taxpayer teat - with the missus and kids in tow?

There'd be a very good reason for that Mr Cyclist.

Does it matter? Is theft not theft? While people in Qld are being FIRED by the Newman Government, his Minister is spending a bit of time with luvey on the taxpayer teat. Are you happy with that?

The good thing about Labor at the moment is that they are hell bent on reforming their party and getting rid of scum like these two. The Liberals seem to endorse this behaviour - at the state level at least

tell us who you are talking about..otherwise we only have your word for it...how do you know all this???..

reform.. do you really think the unions are going to sit back and watch their lifelong hold disappear.. they hate kev the con more than the righties do..

its all words with krudd.. whatever he does do either ends up broke/in chaos or he backflips..

he wont stop the corruption its far too entrenched..but it sucks people in I guess and that is the real point..

is THOMO still a member of the ALP?
