Queensland pollies hoping to hit reset button on election campaigns

Queensland's political leaders are dusting themselves off after climbing out of the campaign trenches.

After what had been a fairly dull contest, both Campbell Newman and Annastacia Palaszczuk had to break with their scripts to defend themselves on Wednesday.

The premier rebuffed accusations of lying and being swayed by political donors, while the opposition leader denied having an entirely negative election strategy.

They were clearly caught on the back-foot and will both be hoping to hit the reset button on Thursday.

Ms Palaszczuk hits the ground in Rockhampton, where she's expected to address job losses in health under the LNP and Labor's plan to employ more nurses at the local hospital.

Mr Newman will be pounding the pavement somewhere in the southeast of the state.

Queenslanders go to the polls in January 31.
