An American model dubbed the ‘Human Ken Doll’ was flown to Parliament House for Budget night by a big Liberal Party donor, according to embattled former Labor senator Sam Dastyari.
The controversial allegations were made involving Justin Jedlica, who has undergone 190 surgeries to look like the plastic figurine, in a KIIS radio interview on Wednesday.
Speaking with hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson, Mr Dastyari accused a ‘big Liberal Party donor’ of funding the American plastic surgery enthusiast’s visit.

‘There’s a big donor down in Melbourne, a big Liberal Party donor … who flies him up,’ the former Labor powerbroker said.
He was responding to a question from ‘shock jock’ Sandilands, who asked whose ‘pocket’ the Human Ken Doll was in.
‘He was hanging out with one of the Housewives of Melbourne,’ Mr Dastyari added.
He appeared to be insinuating the donor shared a friendship with the Human Ken Doll model.
The allegations came as Mr Jedlica left Australia puzzled after making a bizarre appearance at Budget night for the second year in a row.

In the image, the Treasurer bears a beaming smile alongside Andrew Carroll and Jayson McNaughton – who both feature frequently on Mr Jedlica’s social media.
The American has made a habit of posing with high-ranking Australian politicians, having uploaded several previously, including snaps taken with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Christopher Pyne and Julie Bishop.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Mr Jedlica about the reason for his appearances.
His presence at Budget night sent social media into a spin, with many criticising the high-ranking politicians for encouraging the ‘proud to be plastic’ star’s behaviour.
‘Disgusting. At the White Party less than a week ago and now cavorting with an avowed religious fundamentalist. Get a f***ing clue – these people are not your friends,’ someone wrote.
‘What are Gov officials doing hanging out with reality TV people?,’ another added.

One of his followers thought the politicians bared a striking resemblance to Mr Jedlica’s medical team.
‘OK, I just thought they were your docs,’ they said.
The 37-year-old openly gay man, who rose to prominence after appearing on Botched, once had enhancement surgery using implants he handcrafted himself.
He also had what he calls ‘Julia Roberts’ veins’ in his forehead removed, marking his most dangerous procedure ever.
