Former New South Wales minister Tim Crakanthorp was sacked from his ministry for allegations that he failed to declare “substantial private family holdings,” a breach of ministerial code.

Premier Chris Minns said that the Crakanthorp had “failed to comply with his obligations as a minister,” causing potential conflicts of interest within his ministry.

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking that Crakanthorp was lobbying for a redevelopment that would have benefited his family, his in-laws owning multiple properties within the region.

He has now been referred to the state’s anti-corruption watchdog.
