The Labor Party’s Sydney headquarters has been raided by the Independent Commission Against Corruption over a fundraising dinner for Chinese supporters.

More than 600 people attended the dinner at The Eight restaurant in Sydney’s Chinatown on March 13, 2015, two weeks before the NSW election.

Among those at the dinner were then state opposition leader Luke Foley, federal Labor leader Bill Shorten, federal MP Chris Bowen and state MPs Nick Lalich and Ron Hoenig.

Senior Labor sources have confirmed that Tuesday’s raid was in relation to the Chinese Friends of Labor fundraising dinner. The funds from the dinner went into the party’s campaign account for the state election, which the Liberals won.
