Ousted New South Wales Labor representative Eddie Obeid couldn't conceal his dismay over his party's decision to expel him recently.

Speaking with ABC's Bridgid Glanville, Mr. Obeid said the expulsion was vastly premature as there have been no conclusive findings yet on his corruption allegations, much less a case filed against him.

"The least any individual, whether a member of the Labor Party or a member of the public, should wait until the final process is resolved and if I or anyone else, in a court of law, is convicted then fine, go ahead," he said.

Mr. Obeid was heard by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) recently on allegations that he and his family had made millions from the mining licenses issued to him by former minister Ian MacDonald. Both Mr. Obeid and Mr. MacDonald have since been expelled by their political party.

The former Labor power broker is denying the allegations vehemently and remains positive that he will be absolved in the end.

"I refute these allegations and I've consistently said that I and my family have nothing to answer and will be vindicated," Mr. Obeid said.

"If John Robertson, for a few political points, is jumping ahead of the process of a party for over 100 years has stood to defend the individual rights, he has gone about trying to get a few political points at my expense and I refute that"

Mr. Obeid claims that his ouster was merely an attempt to mask Mr. Robertson's ineptitude as the party's temporary leader.

He refused to accept the argument that his leader was left with no choice but to expel him due to the seriousness of the allegations and the fact that he had already faced the ICAC.

"No, I don't agree with that. I think John Robertson and everyone else should wait until charges have been laid and they have been proven in a court of law. At the moment, they're all allegations," he told ABC.

"..As far as I'm concerned this is just further behaviour by John, who is a weak leader and wants to cover himself up by trying to pinpoint allegations. I mean, they are purely allegations and they have not been tested in a court of law."

When asked how he was planning to fight the expulsion, Mr. Obeid somewhat resigned to the idea that it's given him "no natural process."

But he said he is pressing on with the battle using his more than 40 years of track record as a hard working Labor party representative.

"I'm not going to depend upon John Robertson, who's a temporary leader, to come in and advocate expelling someone when he hasn't been charged with anything," he said.

As for the results of the ICAC investigation, the ousted PM would rather leave it to the court of law to decide whether he's guilty or not. He said the court will determine if the corruption case stands on solid ground or it's a mere political witch hunt.

Is he ready to go to jail just in case the courts find incriminating evidence against him? "Rubbish. Absolute rubbish. I don't know what transcripts you've been reading, but you know, have a look at the transcript and see it for yourself and get your lawyers to look at it," he told ABC

He said he is confident that his innocence will be proven at the end of it all.

"I'm quite convinced, I'm quite convinced and I've said that day one, we will be vindicated. A court of law with proper evidence will see it for what it is: nothing but a political witch hunt and John Robertson's riding on that coattail."
