Icac made no finding of corrupt conduct in relation to Tim Crakanthorp’s alleged failure to declare ‘substantial private family holdings’.Icac made no finding of corrupt conduct in relation to Tim Crakanthorp’s alleged failure to declare ‘substantial private family holdings’.has been found to have breached the public trust and substantially breached the ministerial code after an investigation by the state’s corruption watchdog.
The matter was referred to Icac after Minns sacked Crakanthorp from cabinet in August after a series of disclosures from the minister about Newcastle properties. The commission found Crakanthorp’s “failure to declare a conflict of interest in all the circumstances was done knowingly” because he knew about his and his extended family’s holdings and “told the commission he had concerns about having a conflict of interest”.
Crakanthorp vowed to continue serving the people of Newcastle in a statement released before the report was made public.
