Ads you see outside of NSW no one gives a stuff about Rotten Eddie and Rotten Macca.
This is the stuff that is currently going on up in Newmanland.
Michael Caltabiano's seven-month stint as Transport and Main Roads DG will have cost taxpayers about $720,000
However it was his appearance before a budget estimates hearing that caused the most grief, resulting in his own minister Scott Emerson referring him to Parliament's ethics committee for making allegedly misleading statements.
The remarks in question related to senior departmental liaison officer Ben Gommers,
whose appointment is currently the subject of a Crime and Misconduct Commission inquiry.

Newman Government refers cash-for-contracts allegation to CMC in wake of Ros Bates saga
A CASH-for-contracts scandal has hit the Newman Government just as it attempts to move on from the embarrassing Ros Bates saga.
The Courier-Mail revealed today that an official working in Ms Bates' department allegedly offered to help secure contracts for a respected Brisbane company in exchange for a significant sum of cash.
Shocked representatives of family-owned IT company, Technology One, immediately reported the allegation to a senior staff member in the trouble-prone former minister's office.
However, it is unclear whether the serious allegation in September last year concerning the staffer from the Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts was ever passed on to authorities.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has responded today by referring the cash-for-contracts allegations to the state's top crime-fighting body.
