Minns sacks Crakanthorp from cabinet over family holdings conflict of interest
NSW Premier Chris Minns has sacked his skills, TAFE and tertiary education minister Tim Crakanthorp, who was also Minister for the Hunter, for failing to disclose “substantial private family holdings in the Hunter region”.
Crakanthorp becomes the first minister in the Minns government to lose their job, just four months after Labor came to power. The significant property assets were held by members of Crakanthorp’s family, including his wife, and Minns said the government should have been made aware of them. “I can’t give you a number, but obviously more than a couple [of properties],” he said.
“I am disappointed. This is not what we want. We want to have a cabinet that the people of NSW can trust in and have faith in.”
