	Peter Beattie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Douglas Beattie (born 18 November 1952), Australian politician, is the Premier of the Australian state of Queensland and leader of the Australian Labor Party in that state.
		Beattie was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, the youngest of seven children, but was raised by his grandmother at Atherton, a small town in northern Queensland.
		Beattie became involved in the campaign led by Dr Denis Murphy to reform the Queensland branch of the party, which was dominated by elderly and conservative trade union leaders, called the 'Old Guard.' In 1981 the federal Labor Party leader, Bill Hayden, led a federal intervention in Queensland, and Beattie became Queensland State Secretary.

	Queensland Premier Peter Beattie
		Peter Beattie : Well, the trouble is, I think the Labor Party has shot itself in the foot by some of the off-the-record briefings and on-the-record comments they have made over the last few months.
		Peter Beattie : At the moment, it's not easy, and in Queensland at the moment, John Howard has the ascendancy in the federal vote.
		Peter Beattie : I think there is. I think Carmen has to remember - and good luck to her; congratulations; she won the federal presidency - she has a healing role here.

	Queensland Premier Peter Beattie
		Queensland Premier Peter Beattie is live with Laurie Oakes to discuss Labor's landslide win in the Queensland election.
		BEATTIE: Oh, look, I see this as a great responsibility on behalf of the people and, as I said last night, Laurie, I'm a country boy from Atherton in North Queensland and one of the things you know about that is humility.
		BEATTIE: Well, all I'm going on is what people said to me. As I moved around the state and I visited every centre from Charters Towers, right through Barcaldine, just before the campaign, Toowoomba, all the regions, Townsville, Cairns, Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay, petrol was coming through as a strong issue.

	Insiders - 17/07/2005: Beattie puts forward case for Australia Card
		PETER BEATTIE: Well, of course that's up to all our Federal parliamentary colleagues on both sides of the House.
		PETER BEATTIE: No, it won't because the Government will fully support him and I made it clear to any bureaucrat regardless of what the department are in or who they are that they are not only subject to the inquiry that we'll get to the bottom of it.
		PETER BEATTIE: I think the last federal election was poorly orchestrated and I've said this publicly before Barrie, but the reality is the Howard Government outmanoeuvred us when it came to interest rates.

	Peter Beattie's magically disappearing mobile phone towers
		Premier Beattie must apologise to the Qld public for seriously overplaying his hand in falsely claiming that he had done a deal with Telstra and Optus to build up to 89 new mobile phone towers in regional areas.
		However, Mr Beattie would have far greater credibility if he was actually using real money to help build real mobile phone towers as the Federal Coalition has been doing over the last five years.
		It is a cruel but typical Beattie Government political hoax to give the clear impression that a government contract is facilitating the building of up to 89 new mobile phone towers, when clearly it is not.

	Bulletin - Happy talk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Tree-clearing and other environmental issues that featured in the Beattie campaign – buying back the rest of the Daintree, for example – are open to exploitation by federal Labor as well because of the need for federal funds.
		Beattie himself put his finger on another aspect of Saturday’s poll that should be of concern to the federal Liberals.
		Beattie has shown that many voters the Coalition once thought it had a lock on can be courted by a Labor leader with personal and policy appeal.

	Peter Beattie to the rescue? - Shaun Carney - Opinion - theage.com.au
		Beattie, 52, this week denied he was leaving his current position, either to retire or to go to Canberra.
		In any event, Beattie's plight is a demonstration of just how much has been going wrong with the ALP during the past 20 years.
		Meanwhile, Beattie might be condemning the Government he has led all this time to the opposition benches by heading to the national capital.

	Beattie: Now it's back to work \| The Courier-Mail
		PREMIER Peter Beattie tonight thanked Queenslanders for re-electing Labor and said the Government would return to work tomorrow to deliver its promises on health and water.
		Mr Beattie said while he was pleased that most of his team would rejoin him, he was sad to lose Kawana MP Chris Cummins who would lose his seat.
		Beattie's proposed 'water grid' is only a political pipedream like so many of the other promises he has made to the people of this state.

	Mac Beattie and the Ottawa Valley Melodiers
		Peter Beattie has just released The Best of Mac Beattie and the Ottawas Valley Melodiers CD - this means that you can now purchase Mac's wonderful music for the first time in years.
		Peter Jennings was working for CHOH at the time and of course is now known as the anchorman for the ABC television news out of New York City.
		When I first heard Mac Beattie sing it was the gentle simplicity of his songs, of his fervent feelings in their lyrics, and of his age-old connection to the Valley tradition that grabbed me. I never met him but I wish I had.

		Peter Beattie is a true Media whore that has hidden so many documents in cabinet away from public view for 30 years, one can only wonder what else he has hiding in his party's closet..
		Beattie's continued intransigence in sacking his whole cabinet, and then drowning himself as a finale in the Brisbane River is really beginning to grate on the gullible people that voted him into power.
		Last week we had to suffer the patronising lecture from Peter Beattie that it was all our fault our health services were in such a mess.nothing to do with his shabby management, but all the fault of our over-eating and growing old.

		It is better for Peter Beattie to appear as an underdog than a shoe-in for the election.
		Surely Peter Beattie's main strength is that he is the honest, straight shooter and non-factional leader of the Labor Party.
		There is a very strong vote for independents out there and this is why Peter Beattie is advocating Labor places only a 1 in the square of his candidates ballot papers and why Rob Borbidge has suffered a revolt from within his party over One Nation preferences.

	Premier Beattie's ethanol 'mania' (letter) - 17 July 2004
		It is a bit rich of Mr Beattie to comprehensively ignore that the "ethanol damages engines" campaign was started in Sydney by the Australian Labor Party, with the support of some sections of the media.
		Peter Beattie and his government refused to even allow debate, let alone support it.
		If Queensland Labor Premier Beattie's arrangements to bring Brazilian ethanol technology to Queensland is to prepare the ground for Federal Labor to move on ethanol in the coming election, let it not be said that the Coalition had not been warned in the pages of News Weekly.

	Why Peter Beattie is still smiling - Opinion - theage.com.au
		Which is why Queensland Premier Peter Beattie's protestations that he faces a difficult task winning the state election on September 9 are being met with smirks almost as obvious as the Premier's trademark grin.
		Whatever the failing of his Government over the past three years, the advantage Peter Beattie takes into this campaign is the strength of his personal leadership.
		However, Peter Beattie is right to say the coming election is his sternest electoral test as Premier.
