The Independent Commission Against Corruption has raided the headquarters of the New South Wales Labor party. A source said investigators accessed computers at the building during the raid. Guardian Australia understands the raids relate to a Chinese Friends of Labor fundraising dinner held before the 2015 election.
In a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, a party spokesman said the investigation related to “historic” donations. An Icac spokeswoman said the commission would not comment on operational matters. Several figures from the NSW Labor Party have been linked to prominent Chinese political donors in recent years.
In 2017 former NSW general secretary and federal senator Sam Dastyari was forced to resign over his links to the Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo. Dastyari helped elevate upper house MP Ernest Wong into the parliament. Wong is a former Burwood councillor known for his close ties to the Chinese developer community and ability to raise funds. In June Fairfax Media reported that Australian security agencies believed Chinese government intelligence operatives had attempted to cultivate Wong.
