Tim Owen

Timothy Francis Owen (born 29 October 1955) is a former Australian politician and a former deputy commander of the Australian Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing the electoral district of Newcastle for the Liberal Party from the 2011 New South Wales state election until 6 August 2014, when he moved to the parliamentary crossbench and sat as an independent, following evidence given to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) that he may have breached electoral funding laws.

In May 2014, Owen announced that he would not contest his seat at the next state election. On 12 August 2014, after admitting lying to ICAC, he resigned from parliament, triggering the 2014 Newcastle by-election. Provided by Wikipedia
