At a time when many are drowning in bills, skipping meals and scraping every dollar to survive, a convicted corrupt former NSW Labor Minister has been allowed to walk away with $30 million.
There will be no action taken to confiscate Eddie Obeid's fortune — and yet the Minns Labor Government is nowhere to be seen.
Eddie Obeid wasn't just any Labor figure. He was at the core of the former Labor Governments — a powerbroker whose name became synonymous with the worst corruption in NSW political history.
Now he keeps his $30 million, and the Minns Labor Government has nothing to say?
Everyday people in NSW are being punished by the cost-of-living crisis, while one of Labor's most corrupt figures keeps his millions.
We are calling on the Acting Premier and Acting Attorney General to come out from hiding, front up to the people of NSW, and explain in detail why there are no legal proceedings to recover every single cent.
This isn't about legal loopholes — it's about moral leadership and public confidence in our legal and political systems.
The public can't be left with the impression that that corruption in this state is fine as long as you're Labor royalty.
