An electorate officer for federal Liberal National Party MP Stuart Robert has contradicted her boss in a Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission hearing in Brisbane, saying she was never told an LNP fundraising body would back her campaign.

The CCC is investigating whether anyone broke the law during last year's Queensland local government elections by failing to disclose donations or party affiliations.

Last week, Mr Robert told the commission he had arranged an LNP fundraising body called the Fadden Forum to fund both Ms Stevenson and Kristyn Boulton, both former LNP members employed at his electorate office, to the tune of $30,000 each.
