A lawyer for former NSW Labor minister Ian Macdonald says his health is a factor in sentencing him over a coal mine licence conspiracy.

A court has heard former NSW Labor minister Ian Macdonald’s health conditions, including "chronic constipation" should be considered in sentencing him for a mine licence conspiracy.

The judge presided over their year-long trial without a jury, finding they conspired for Macdonald to commit five acts of misconduct in public office. Pressing the lawyer for more detail, Justice Fullerton asked: “What are his medical conditions identified as co-morbidities that render him at higher risk of contracting the virus and suffering the consequences of it?”Eddie Obeid's family made $30 million out of the deal.

Fraud is Fraud ..... If its proven true he shouldn't get away with anything.

Really that's an excuse now. Throw the book at him if guilty

Nothing an enema won't fix

No shit?

This is shitty excuse.

No shit.

Yet politicians give us the shits. Strange how that works.

I’m thinking it is the best place for him, he’ll be fine. Jail will give him the shits anyway…

Have laxatives become unavailable due to covid?

This one’s a keeper.

Jail could loosen him up!

I hear Invermectin in large doses does wonders for constipation. We hear CraigKellyMP is an expert in this field.

He won't have an issue in jail.

He just needs to learn to talk it out like Morrison and Gladys do

Tell him to drop the soap in the shower, that'll fix it 😎

Now I've heard everything suppositories, vaccination and thinners will fix it. Throw away the key these two..

Sounds like the perfect remedy.

I am sure they will work that out.

.... don't lock me up because I am full of shit Your Honour 🤣

Eddie Obeid should have some turbo lax for that

No that’s not an excuse. Send him to gaol.

Is every pollie and cop in NSW a crook? Still run by the Rum Corps?

Seriously give him a good dose of cod liver oil

Letting these politicians off is giving me the sh!ts.

Now those govt ministers are giving themselves the shitz.

About one third of people in prison have acquired brain injuries. This didn't stop them being jailed. One of course feels for this dedicated public servant but a bowl of All Bran should do the trick.

Jail will give him the runs

Ian Macdonald’s health conditions, including 'chronic constipation' should be considered in sentencing him for a mine licence conspiracy. If he is locked up, there will be plenty of time to sit on the toilet. Should not be a problem for him going to gaol.

Enough of that old shit Ian, take your medicine.

Oh man, that's shit!

What rot.

Jail is cure for that affliction😎

Lol

I don't see how they think it might help their cause by wasting the court's time with stuff that makes them look like even worse people.

Another politician that is full of shit

Might need to work this out with an official probe.

Jail will loosen that up, quick smart

Just needs some magnesium citrate and he'll be fine.

Jail will sort that problem out for him.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m not mature enough for this shit

ABC doesn’t miss a beat

That just gives me the shits

Maybe he should've thought of that before indulging in chronic greed and corruption.

Wtaf!

Prison might clear up the constipation if u know what i mean.....

I heard ivermectin is good with dealing with any blockages.

Surely someone could help with his constipation in prison ....

explains the furrowed brow

Gaol will help loosen this “constipation” problem…..

As a result of too many long free lunches?

That's because he speaks shit 💩

In other words, he thinks he too rich and well heeled to face prison. As no one gives a crap about these issues for most people that are incarcerated for serious crimes, I think it’s only fair process that it’s not given any consideration in his case.

I would say 'tough shit' but he seems to have that one covered!

New Metamucil Ambassador?

Try him on invermectin?

As a NSW taxpayer, it’s enough to give you the 💩s, frankly.

Priceless.

Pretty sure his cell mate bubba might be able to help with the enema.

So he can't be chronic constipated in jail Was he constipated when he broke the law? Was that why he participated in corrupt activities?,nup Do the crime etc etc
