1964

Michael Caltabiano (born 8 April 1964) is an Australian former politician who was a Liberal Party member of the Brisbane City Council from 1996 to 2005, and a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 2005 to 2006.

He also served briefly as the Director-General of the Department of Transport and Main Roads in the state government of Queensland, Australia until he was sacked by Premier Campbell Newman.

1996

He was appointed as a replacement Liberal Party Councillor for Chandler Ward of the Brisbane City Council in 1996.

Caltabiano subsequently won the 1997, 2000 and 2004 elections.

2000

Caltabiano served as Leader of the Opposition in Brisbane City Council from 2000 until 2002, when he was ousted during a factional deal involving a dispute over representation on the State Liberal Council.

He was replaced by Margaret De Wit in 2002, who was in turn replaced by Graham Quirk in 2003.

2003

He was also actively involved in party politics, serving as Queensland state president of the Liberal Party from 2003 to 2006.

2004

He was responsible for writing many of the policies for Lord Mayoral candidate Campbell Newman and was directly responsible for writing the 2004-05 Budget as presented to Council (normally this is the Lord Mayor's duty; however, Newman preferred to leave this responsibility to other Liberal councillors.).

2005

In mid-2005, Labor Deputy Premier Terry Mackenroth resigned from politics, sparking a by-election in the seat of Chatsworth, which included Caltabiano's council ward.

Caltabiano was preselected as the Liberal candidate, and faced Labor candidate Chris Forrester, who he had defeated in the previous council election.

The Labor government was struggling in the polls at the time, and Caltabiano won the seat with 52.35% of the vote.

Caltabiano was appointed to the shadow ministry upon his election, taking on the role of Shadow Minister for Transport.

He was widely viewed as a rising star in the party and had been tipped as a future Liberal leader.

2006

In August 2006, following the accession of Bruce Flegg to the Liberal leadership, Caltabiano was promoted to Shadow Treasurer.

Premier Peter Beattie called an election for 9 September 2006 and Labor preselected Chris Bombolas, a high-profile sports presenter, as its candidate.

The Liberals struggled with a series of early gaffes.

After a close race, Bombolas succeeded in taking the seat by several hundred votes.

2008

From June 2008 until he took over as Director-General of the Department of Transport and Main Roads, he was managing director of Infrastructure Delivery Pty Ltd. Following his being stood down (see 'Investigation' above) he became CEO of the Australian Asphalt Pavement Association in January 2014.
