QLD: What s all the bloody fuss? asks Beattie

Queensland Premier PETER BEATTIE's use of the word BLOODY in parliament has sparked a
debate in and outside the House.

And the premier says he doesn't understand what all the BLOODY fuss is about, telling those
who've objected to it to get a life.

Opposition MPs have criticised Mr BEATTIE, but the premier says while BLOODY might be
appropriate language in the chamber, the "F" word would never make a guest appearance.

Opposition leader ROB BORBIDGE says he's too well mannered to use the term in the chamber.
