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.
