Former New South Wales Labor minister Tim Crakanthorp’s own chief of staff reported that his boss had failed to disclose “substantial” holdings in his family’s Newcastle property empire, leading to Crakanthorp’s sacking from the cabinet and referral to the corruption watchdog this week.
Guardian Australia understands the Newcastle MP’s chief of staff, Elliot Stein, raised concerns with the premier, Chris Minns, after telling Crakanthorp he needed to disclose additional properties owned by his father-in-law and wife. There is no suggestion of wrongoing by them.
