The family of corrupt former Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid is still locked in a court battle with the tax office over a $30 million windfall from the sale of a coal project. The tax office ordered the payment of income tax plus penalties on at least $30 million that was paid to the Obeids as part of a coal deal involving their farm. Former Labor mining minister Ian Macdonald, who was also found guilty over the same conspiracy, is eligible for parole in January.
