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.

Met with Eddie Obeid: Ricky Stuart, John Symond and Kristina Keneally.

The diaries were tendered at the conclusion of the recent Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry into allegations that Mr Obeid and his family received $30 million from an allegedly corrupt government coal tender.

According to the diaries, mortgage king ''Aussie'' John Symond was keen to talk to Mr Obeid, a humble backbencher, about his jetty. Prominent developer Harry Triguboff wanted to chew the fat with Mr Obeid over the lack of buses servicing a Meriton development in Waterloo. On another occasion he wanted to talk about the penthouse in his development in Liverpool Street.
