Craig Arthur Samuel Laundy (born 16 February 1971) is an Australian politician. He has been the Liberal member for the House of Representatives seat of Reid since the 2013 election. Laundy served as the Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs between February and July 2016 following a rearrangement in the First Turnbull Ministry and has served as the Assistant Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science since July 2016 in the Second Turnbull Ministry.
Laundy is the son of New South Wales public hotel baron, Arthur Laundy and his wife, Margaret. The family owns more than 30 hotels across the state. He was born in Sydney and educated at St Patrick's College, Strathfield, St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill, and University of New South Wales where he graduated with a Bachelor of Economics.
Prior to his election to parliament at the 2013 federal election, Laundy worked in the family hotel business.
As a candidate during the 2013 federal election campaign, Laundy argued that the removal of the fringe benefits tax concession on motor vehicles would be "another kick in the pants to Australia's automotive industry."
