 Peter Beattie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The result of his reforms was eventual electoral success, with the election of Wayne Goss as Queensland's first Labor Premier since Vince Gair in 1957.
Goss did not appoint him to the ministry until Labor's near defeat at the 1995 election, where Beattie became Minister for Health.
