Crakanthorp was the Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, and the Minister for the Hunter in the NSW Minns ministry[5] before stepping down amid allegations of breaching the Ministerial Code of Conduct.
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".[6]
Mr Crakanthorp continues to represent his community in the NSW Legislative Assembly in his capacity as the State Member for Newcastle.
