QUEENSLAND Housing and Public Works Minister Bruce Flegg has dumped another senior staffer - but unlike the others this one is not going meekly into the wilderness.
Dr Flegg's senior media adviser, Graeme Hallett, has called a news conference an hour before the opening of parliament on Tuesday morning to say why he believes his old boss is unfit to be a minister.
Earlier in the day Dr Flegg's office confirmed the minister had sacked his chief of staff.
Fraser Stephen, who had been with Dr Flegg since the government won power in March, had his employment terminated last Thursday.
"The minister lost confidence in his chief of staff," a spokesman for Dr Flegg told AAP.
It has been a tumultuous year for Dr Flegg, but the spokesman would not give a reason why Mr Stephen was sacked.
Mr Hallett told reporters he would discuss "aspects of Dr Flegg's behaviour that makes him not fit to be a minister", at Tuesday's news conference.
Earlier this month, Dr Flegg was forced to ban his son Jonathon, who is the manager of government relations at lobbying firm Rowland, from lobbying his office.
Jonathon Flegg contacted his father's chief of staff twice to arrange appointments, which were booked but later cancelled.
One of those appointments was with Mr Stephen.
Dr Flegg was also under pressure in July, when he appointed Liberal National Party (LNP) treasurer Barry O'Sullivan to secretly review the books of two government businesses.
Mr Stephen is not the first chief of staff to leave the Newman government.
Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey dumped her chief of staff, former Channel 7 political journalist Mike D'Arcy, in June.
