The only reason the NSW Premier has now taken any action on the Eddie Obeid corruption cash is because the media exposed it weeks ago.
Weeks ago, when headlines broke that a convicted former Labor minister was allowed to keep $30 million in corrupt gains, we called immediately for legislation, but the Police Minister instead only offered a comment that she was appalled, and nothing could be done. The Premier yet again has had to clean up after his inept Police Minister.
The Minns Labor Government only acted once it was caught standing still. It's a small target government and token stunts are all they have to offer.
Eddie Obeid, Ian Macdonald and Joe Tripodi weren't outliers - they were at the heart of the last Labor Government.
We need an end to the weak, reactive culture of NSW Labor.
The public has had enough of slick media management and fake tough talk.
