Salary was my only income, says Obeid - The Australian

FORMER NSW Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid has spent the morning being grilled on his family's finances, in a continually fiery performance in front of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Mr Obeid was asked to explain why his wife Judith had drawn a total $1.7 million from the Obeid family trust, despite declaring to the tax department that she had such a low income it was unnecessary to lodge a return.
