Queensland Election: Surprise Winner. It’s Peter Beattie!

Gliberty allowed Peter to speak for himself when he resigned. Just in case you missed that, here’s the link.

That was a while ago but, thankfully, Peter’s wisdom has increased with age and he generously shared it with us on Insiders on Sunday morning in an interview in which he showed as much humility and grace as Anna Bligh did with her concession speech.

But the greatest testament to his brilliance was provided by a columnist in The Australian on Saturday morning. This sage not only predicted Anna’s wipe out but cast a keen eye over Labor’s history in government. In an article about Anna’s and Labor’s demise, the writer somehow managed to get in quite a few references to Peter’s brilliance and many successes.

Who was this scribe? Why, none other than some occasional columnist named P. Beattie. Surely, no relation? No, it couldn’t be. Not our humble Peter! His hide’s not thick as his top lip’s wide!
