Qld: Beattie to start new govt rorts free
Queensland Premier PETER BEATTIE has made it clear that rorting won't be tolerated
in his new state government.
On the back of a stunning win in yesterday's poll, Mr BEATTIE says he remains committed
to cleaning up Queensland's Labor Party.
He says yesterday's election provided some closure to the rorts affair.
But he's told the Seven Network that anyone in his party who's involved in any improper
action in the future is "gone, gone, gone".
Mr BEATTIE says that rorting allegations against his campaign director, CAMERON MILNER,
are baseless and he won't be pursuing them.
He's put Labor's landslide victory largely down to the government's petrol policy,
saying that whoever is elected prime minister later this year will have to reduce petrol
excise.
