Former South Australian opposition leader David Speirs has lost a bid to avoid being convicted over drug supply charges.

Speirs pleaded guilty to two charges of supplying a controlled substance to another person on separate occasions in August last year.

The 40-year-old’s lawyer previously asked the court not to record a conviction so that Speirs could travel overseas.

But today the Adelaide Magistrates Court fined the former Liberal leader $9,000 and recorded two convictions.

He has also been ordered to undertake 37-and-a-half hours of community service.

On Thursday, Magistrate Brian Nitschke said he found the offending “too serious” not to record convictions.

“The need for public denunciation for this type of offending and the need for general deterrence is too great to refrain from recording a conviction,” he said.

Speirs was arrested at Berri, in the state’s Riverland, in September last year.

His arrest came after a video, published by News Corp, showed the former MP snorting from a plate. The charges do not relate to the video.

The former Liberal leader resigned from parliament after the charges were laid.
