Andrew Stuart Cornwell (born 29 December 1969) is a former Australian politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from the 2011 election until 2014, representing the electorate of Charlestown. He was elected as a Liberal Party candidate, and represented that party until 6 August 2014, when he moved to the parliamentary crossbench and sat as an independent after the Independent Commission Against Corruption heard evidence that Cornwell may have breached electoral funding laws.[1][2] After earlier announcing that would not contest his seat at the next state election,[3] on 12 August 2014 Cornwell resigned from parliament with immediate effect[4] triggering the 2014 Charlestown by-election.[5][6]
