Expletive-laden emails expose bitter feud over Obeid ventures, ICAC told Email feud: Damian Obeid leaving an ICAC hearing in February. They are the emails exposing a bitter family feud over the Obeid family's secret business ventures at Circular Quay. Eddie Obeid's nephew, Dennis Jabour, and the Labor MP's son Damian had a "love-hate relationship," the Independent Commission Against Corruption heard on Wednesday. Mr Jabour, a real estate agent who later worked at Obeid-linked company Australian Water, was in talks with Coca-Cola about the family-owned Arc Cafe in 2009. ICAC probe: Eddie Obeid. Damian Obeid was less than impressed with his efforts, expletive-laden emails tendered at the inquiry reveal. "Cq [Circular Quay] has been going on for years you c---sucker and u did nothing to get it through," Damian Obeid wrote in an email to Mr Jabour on May 1, 2009. That is the way u operate bullshit your worth and your influence on the outcome so that u might be able to suck more money out of the deal. Damian Obeid signed off with: "Remember how we got it through half wit u had nothing to do with it so stick that up your arse." The ICAC is investigating the circumstances in which the Obeid family obtained renewals on two lucrative cafe leases at Circular Quay without competing in a public tender. In 2005, the then waterways minister Michael Costa postponed a plan to open leases in the precinct to competitive tender. His successor, Joe Tripodi, extended the leases in 2009 for up to 10 years. The inquiry has heard the value of that extension was estimated in 2001 at more than $1 million per lease. Mr Costa and Mr Tripodi are expected to give evidence they were unaware of the Obeids' interest in the leases at the time. The email spat related to a third lease, also owned by the Obeids. "You remind me of Pavlov's dogs the only difference is that you come on the smell of cash," Damian Obeid wrote after Mr Jabour told him he had lined up the meeting with Coca-Cola. Mr Jabour replied: "That's funny c---eater - its better than being a useless fat budda that feeds off everyone else's work. Try doing something yourself fatboy and you might get some respect. Damian Obeid gave evidence that the family matriarch, Judith, was given a $1000-a-week "housekeeping fee" out of the takings of the Circular Quay businesses. Counsel assisting the inquiry, Ian Temby, QC, suggested another witness had given evidence in private that Mr Obeid senior was also given $1000 per week out of the takings. Damian Obeid disagreed. The inquiry, in its third day, is expected to run for three weeks. It will also probe the Obeid family's interest in water leases over their family farm and consultancy Direct Health Solutions. Australian Water will be the subject of another probe next year.
