FORMER Queensland premier Peter Beattie has taken the stand to give evidence via video-link from the United States in the corruption trial of former cabinet colleague Gordon Nuttall.

Mr Beattie is being beamed into the Brisbane District Court from Los Angeles to testify for the prosecution.

Mr Beattie follows his successor Anna Bligh in giving evidence during the high-profile trial.

Nuttall, 56, has pleaded not guilty to 35 counts of receiving $300,000 in secret commissions from mining magnate Ken Talbot between 2002 and 2005.

He has also pleaded not guilty to one count of receiving a one-off $60,000 secret commission from businessman and former senior public servant Harold Shand in April 2002.

Nuttall served as a minister in the Beattie government before retiring from politics in 2006.
