Offset Alpine raises its head again in a new book

[Dry Rot]

Older posters may remember this interesting case, where a crapped out printing works burnt down, after its new owners very luckily took out a hefty $50m insurance policy.

We knew about owners like Rene Rivkin and Richo and dodgy movements of money, but bugger me, Bob Carr's wife was in there in too with an initial bid and now Eddie Obeid emerges as an owner!

Interesting case

How did Richo come have $1.5m in a dodgy offshore bank?

Back-scratching in epidemic proportions was & probably still is the norm for NSW politics.
