Federal Liberal backbencher Stuart Robert's evidence to Queensland's corruption watchdog about his fundraising activities appears to be contradicted by his own website.

The Gold Coast MP told the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) on Tuesday the purpose of his fundraising entity, the Fadden Forum, was to raise money for both his re-election and for Liberal National Party purposes more generally.

"That's made well clear to those that seek to donate," he told the CCC.

"It's not only for my re-election."

But in early 2016 the Fadden Forum website said the money was to be used specifically for Mr Robert's seat of Fadden, and made no mention of funding other LNP activities.

Under the heading "About the Forum", the website explained it was "designed to foster dialogue between the FDC [the LNP's Federal Divisional Council] and the business community and to provide support to the Liberal National Party's Fadden election campaigns".

The website has since been taken down but was active as recently as April 2016.

A spokesman for Mr Robert said the information on the website was out of date.

"Stuart hasn't used the website in five years," he said.

"The purpose broadened at around the same time. The website was merely active until last year and was not updated or utilised.

"The membership form makes it clear what donations are raised for and that is also made clear at every event anyone attends."

Donations to two staff members

Mr Robert arranged for $60,000 in Fadden Forum funding to be donated to two of his ex-staffers, who ran as independent candidates in the March 2016 Gold Coast City Council elections.

One of them, Kristyn Boulton, was elected to council.

Cr Boulton told the CCC she thought the $30,000 she received had come from Mr Robert's personal account and said she was not aware it was a donation from the LNP's Fadden Forum until after the election.

Despite working in Mr Robert's electorate office for nine years, she said she never fully understood the workings of the Fadden Forum and how it related to the LNP.

"I still don't understand how it all relates to one another, and I'm not sure it's my place to do that," she said.

Mr Robert said his motive in arranging the funding was to stop candidates sympathetic to the Labor Party succeeding.

"The reality is the Labor Party uses these footholds to then contest other state and federal held seats which would make my job a lot harder," he told the CCC.

He also said the transfer of the funds early last year was approved by the state office of the LNP.

The commission is examining possible criminal offences in three 2016 Queensland council elections, including whether candidates correctly declared their funding sources and whether they misled voters about their claimed independence.
