A complaint about political donations has been referred to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), likely as the result of Jami-Lee Ross' allegations against the National Party. Bridges on Tuesday morning said the complaint was a matter for the National Party and continued to deny any wrongdoing. At the time, National Party President Peter Goodfellow said Zheng had entered the National Party's Candidate College for the 2020 election. The Candidate College acts as a kind of boot camp for potential National Party candidates, but it does not guarantee selection. Green Party electoral spokeswoman Golriz Ghahraman said the investigation showed the need for electoral reform.
