Former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie joins Betoota Talks to tell us how the world works. The first man to take on One Nation - and crush them - in the 1990s, Beattie explains how he tackled grievance politics head-on and let his opponents blow themselves up. He's never been above praising the Opposition, and he's certainly not shy of firing pot shots at his own mob. He's now working as an NRL commissioner and ia still a keen observer of Australian politics and sport - but deep down, he's still the North Queensland boy from the Atherton. He's from Queensland I can tell.
