The NSW corruption watchdog has found former Labor MP Ernest Wong engaged in serious corrupt conduct as part of a scheme to circumvent the state’s donation laws.
The business plans of disgraced MP Daryl Maguire are in ruins with one prospective partner found dead in a pool and another in debt to Chinese business figures.
Exactly $100,000 in cash was withdrawn from a gambling account funded by exiled billionaire Huang Xiangmo,six days before NSW Labor banked the same amount.
Ernest Wong admitted at a corruption inquiry that the effect of some of his dealings was to conceal the true source of political donations to the party.
