Justice Elizabeth Fullerton said she accepted the likelihood of the men being sentenced to a term of imprisonment increases the impetus to breach their bail conditions.

Eddie Obied, Ian Macdonald, Moses Obeid found guilty of mine licence conspiracy By court reporter Jamelle Wells © Provided by ABC NEWS Eddie Obeid, Ian Macdonald and Moses Obeid were charged with conspiring over a coal exploration licence. () Former NSW Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald and Obeid s son Moses have been found guilty of conspiring over a lucrative mine licence.  Eddie Obeid 77, his middle son Moses 51, and Macdonald 72, stood trial accused of conspiring over a coal exploration licence granted over the Obeid family farm in the Bylong Valley near Mudgee, when Mr Macdonald was Resources Minister from 2007 to 2009. The Crown case was that they conspired for Macdonald to commit misconduct in public office. 

Former NSW Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald found guilty of corruption charges

Justice Elizabeth Fullerton, who presided over the case without a jury, heard from 38 witnesses in the year-long trial. Fullerton found that a conspiracy to ensure a mining licence was granted over Obeid’s property was proved beyond reasonable doubt. She found there was evidence that Moses Obeid had formed an agreement some time before May 2008 with Macdonald, and that Macdonald had then proceeded as minister for mineral resources to take steps to ensure that a mining exploration licence was granted covering Cherrydale Park. In what is likely to become the leading case on criminal conspiracy in NSW, Fullerton found that the conspiracy was proved because Macdonald had agreed “to do what he could in connection with the granting of a licence at Mt Penny and to further the economic interests of the Obeids”.
