Chris Minns asked for Tim Crakanthorp’s resignation on Wednesday after becoming aware of a breach of the ministerial code
He said it was up to the ministers and MPs to ensure their records were accurate and the onus could not be on the premier’s department.Late on Wednesday, Crakanthorp made a statement in the parliament stating he had initially omitted a property owned by his wife when he made his first declaration as a minister.
“In recent days, I notified the premier’s office that I have now spoken to both my in-laws and my siblings-in-law to assemble a full list of each of their interests, and I’ve provided those to the premier’s office,” he told the house just before 9pm Wednesday. The opposition leader, Mark Speakman, has called on the government to explain which properties were not disclosed and what decisions had been made about the Hunter that needed to be reviewed in light of the potential conflict of interest.
