Eddie Obeid to give evidence at ICAC

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 17 November 2013 | 23.53

EDDIE Obeid will take the witness stand at the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Monday as more than three weeks of public hearings into the corrupt former MP's conduct conclude.

Since late October the ICAC has been examining witnesses in relation to three operations - Cyrus, Cabot and Meeka.

And on Monday morning Mr Obeid is due to give evidence on all three investigations.

Operation Cyrus is investigating whether between 2000 and 2011 Mr Obeid "misused his position as an MP to attempt to influence other public officials" over lucrative retail leases at Circular Quay in which his family had hidden interests, the ICAC says.

It's also examining under Operation Cabot whether Mr Obeid used his political muscle to have a generous water licence, several times larger than recommended by authorities, granted over a Bylong Valley property his family owned.

And the third ICAC operation, Meeka, is looking at allegations the fallen Labor kingmaker lobbied parliamentary colleagues and public servants to make decisions favourable to a staff management company in which he had secret financial interests.

During their time in the witness stand, former Labor ports ministers Carl Scully, Michael Costa, Eric Roozendaal and Joe Tripodi all told the ICAC Mr Obeid had spoken to them about the Circular Quay leases.

All denied knowing his family had a stake in two harbourside restaurants and a cafe.

On Monday Mr Obeid will give his version of events to the ICAC inquiry, held in central Sydney and headed by assistant commissioner Anthony Whealy.
