Peter Beattie – wow!
Paul Howes remembers Beattie talking about Rudd;
(PETER Beattie) told me plainly that “that bloke stuffed up the Goss government, stuffed up his own government and during the election did his best to stuff up Julia’s government. No one should ever forget the damage that he has done.
But all is forgotten now;
WE have had our differences but it takes a bit of strength and a bit of guts from the Prime Minister to rise above that and say ‘what’s good for the campaign, what’s good for Queensland’.
I, and all Queenslanders with an attention span longer than a lightening strike, also remember Beattie stuffing up Queensland then fleeing the scene and handing over to Anna Bligh who didn’t help at all. Newman is doing his best to bring us back on line but he continually has to fight the rusted on Labor voters and unionists who seem to think the state can keep on borrowing money to pay its bloated public servants. Beattie now thinks it would be good for Queensland and Rudd thinks Beattie is an answer. I can only say -WOW!
an attention span longer than a lightening strike
How far back do you want to go? I remember Jo Bjelke-Petersen, the most corrupt Premier in Qld history, and his merry band of cabinet ministers, many of whom ended up in the clink.
Yeah…well Joe has a lot to do with the current election and I might add, for all his sins he never left the state bankrupt.
Yeah, I remember those years.
Wasn’t there a bloke called Cheater Beatup or something, who claimed to have gained a great education from the old bugger from Kingaroy?
Remind me again who said, “Whatever it takes!”
Do a GOOGLE search on “Peter Beattie” and you will get some very interesting results.
