You forgot to mention her old mate Edie Obeid and his friends Tony Burke and Sam Dastyari.

Room 1122 in the Parliament House of NSW may look unremarkable, but it was from this room that Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid effectively ran the state.

Three years of diary entries - from 2007 to 2009 - reflect an astonishing parade of politicians, developers, departmental chiefs, union bosses, business figures and colourful Sydney characters who were shown into the inner sanctum of room 1122.

General secretary of the state Labor Party branch, Sam Dastyari, is also mentioned frequently in the diaries. One of the big mysteries in the diaries is the identity of ''Sam''. Mr Obeid had regular meetings with ''Sam'' at the Intercontinental, in room 1122, at the Sydney Hospital cafe and at Birkenhead Point.

Of the many politicians beating a path to Mr Obeid's door, the most frequent - according to the diary entries - were Ian Macdonald, Michael Costa, Joe Tripodi, Eric Roozendaal, John Della Bosca, John Robertson, Barbara Perry, Noreen Hay, Tony Kelly, Virginia Judge, Kristina Keneally, Matt Brown and Michael Daley. Federal minister Tony Burke, who skiied at Perisher courtesy of Mr Obeid, is also mentioned.

Could that be the Who's Who of unshackled NSW criminals?
