More ALP corrupt politicians to be prosecuted
Nov 20^th, 2014 at 2:52pm

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-20/ian-macdonald-eddie-obeid-to-be-prosecuted...

Quote:

Former New South Wales Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald have been ordered to appear in court after prosecutors decided to act on the findings of the state's corruption watchdog.

Mr Obeid is being prosecuted for alleged misconduct in public office relating to restaurant leases at Circular Quay in Sydney.

Mr Macdonald is being prosecuted for two alleged offences of misconduct in public office over the awarding of a mining licence.

In June, Mr Obeid was found to have acted corruptly by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), which said he "misused his position as an MP" to lobby ministers and a senior public servant over the retail leases.

Where's John S.

I'm sure your comrade at Pricksy Leaks will be right onto this one......

I have no issue with that as long as the punishment fits the crime, O'farrell's bottle of plonk pales into insignificance when compared to Obeid and Macdonald.

Ask Aunty ABC Phelmo as it was her that slapped it on her website soon enough. Maybe she is getting way too much tax-payer funds if she is wasting it on yesterday's news huh Grin

Wait till Australian Water Holdings gets fully investigated - some big names are going to fall there! What was Sinodinos getting per annum for how many hours? (cough cough)
