Timothy Carson Crakanthorp is an Australian politician. He has been a Labor member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly since 25 October 2014, when he was elected in a by-election to the seat of Newcastle. Mr Crakanthorp was an elected Councillor on Newcastle City Council for 8 years. When he was elected to the Legislative Assembly he was still a serving Councillor on Newcastle City Council.
Crakanthorp was the Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, and the Minister for the Hunter in the NSW Minns ministry before stepping down amid allegations of breaching the Ministerial Code of Conduct due to failing to disclose his pecuniary interests of land holdings in an urban redevelopment project within his portfolio.
On the 10th of April 2024, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) announced that it was terminating its preliminary investigation because it was "satisfied that there are no reasonable prospects of finding Mr Crakanthorp’s conduct is sufficiently serious to justify a finding of corrupt conduct".
In June 2024, a teenager was charged with terrorism offences after entering Crakanthorp's office with weapons. The teen had filmed the minister and had made threats.
