FOREIGN AGENTS
Having had to deal with any number of outside forces messing about in their country, the Lebanese can now add one more to the list, New South Wales parliamentarian Eddie Obeid, who has felt the need to fuck about in things that don't concern him.
It took a hack from the Australian Labor Party to do what the civil war couldn't - divide a community along sectarian lines:
"We have always, always, always through all the years through Matrit history, in elections the Muslims and the Christians of the Shire, were never, never, never separated, they were all just one hand, you know what I mean? It's true the Lebanese all are fanatics, but we always manage to live peacefully and very, very nicely together.And how does the government of Kaiser Bob react to this scandal? By having the Opposition Leader ejected from Parliament.But when Obeid came here, he separated the village into two parties and no-one is happy about this now."
Piers Akerman: Spreading his influence far and wide.
Daily Telegraph: Whose side is Eddie Obeid on.
