Jean Dong, who has lived in Australia for close to 15 years, is the director of 'Australia China Belt and Road Initiative' a company paid more than $35,000 to consult the Victorian government on its deal with China.
Ms Dong has hired key former politicians including former trade minister Andrew Robb, and former finance minister Lindsay Tanner, but without any financial compensation according to Ms Baxendale.
