A UNION official has called Campbell Newman an "arrogant and indifferent turd" over comments the Queensland premier made last year about public service job cuts.
The Australian Workers' Union's (AWU) newly-elected Queensland branch secretary Ben Swan made the remark while speaking to a resolution condemning the cuts at the AWU national conference on the Gold Coast on Tuesday.
Mr Swan was alluding to comments Mr Newman made last year in describing the process of cutting 14,000 public service jobs as getting "the poopa scoopa out" to clean up after Labor's excessive hiring.
Mr Newman had made the analogy while apologising for the anxiety caused by the cuts.
Mr Swan told union delegates: "I would return the favour to Newman on behalf of all public sector workers in this state by calling him for what he is, an arrogant and indifferent turd.
"He disgraced the position of premier."
Mr Swan also accused Mr Newman of lying to the public in the lead-up to last year's state election, which the Liberal National Party won in a landslide.
"When Newman said that the public sector had nothing to fear from him, he lied," Mr Swan said.
"When he said he was not a right-wing ideologue, he lied."
AWU delegates passed the resolution.
Mr Newman said the attack mirrors the deplorable standards of Labor and the unions.
"Sadly, Mr Swan's comments reflect everything that is wrong with the union movement and the Australian Labor Party today," the premier told AAP.
