The former Speaker Of The NSW Legislative Assembly Jonathan O'Dea has been appointed non-executive director of the Communist Party China linked Top Education Group Ltd. His choice of post political employment  is intriguing , for Top Group  has lost over  90 % of its market capitalisation since its listing in 2018. 

Top Group continues to be a source of scandal due in part to the incompetence of former ICAC chief Peter Hall. Hall refused to call Top Group's founder , principal and major shareholder  Zhu Minshen in the course of his investigation into political donations by the Communist Party Of China, despite the evidence before him that clearly linked Top Group to that scandal.
