Misconduct allegations against former transport head Michael Caltabiano referred to Director of Public Prosecutions FORMER Transport and Main Roads Director-General Michael Caltabiano may have to face criminal charges, after the Crime and Misconduct Commission referred its brief on the sacked bureaucrat to the Director of Public Prosecutions. The Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee hearing on Friday was told the CMC had completed its investigation into Mr Caltabiano, and given the DPP a brief. Mr Caltabiano stood down on full pay in October 2012, and his position was terminated in late February. He originally stepped aside after his Minister Scott Emerson and Premier Campbell Newman referred him to the Ethics Committee over allegedly misleading comments to the budget estimates hearing. The remarks concerned Mr Caltabiano's previous professional knowledge of a senior departmental liaison officer. Mr Caltabiano told the estimates hearing he had no previous professional knowledge of the DLO, but documents showed he had been employed by the same lobbying company and was listed on its website as one of their "key people" with the DLO. The CMC will not make its report on Mr Caltabiano public. The nature of the CMC's investigation remains unclear. Mr Newman has refused to say why Mr Caltabiano's position was terminated. Last month's budget estimates hearing heard Mr Caltabiano was paid $650,000 by the Newman Government for less than a year's work. He was one of Mr Newman's first appointments following the LNP's landslide election victory in March 2012. At the time, Mr Newman said he would do a "fantastic job."
