The state’s corruption watchdog is investigating whether now-banned Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo was the true source of $100,000 cash donated to NSW Labor in 2015.

Huang is said to have handed that amount of money to NSW Labor’s then-general secretary Jamie Clements at the party’s head office a few weeks after a March 2015 Chinese Friends of Labor dinner, the Independent Commission against Corruption heard on Monday.
