Qld govt 'not focused' on Miller reports

The Queensland government insists it is focused on the "big picture", not speculation disgruntled MP Jo-Ann Miller may be preparing to pull the pin and upset its already-tenuous grip on power.

The Queensland Times on Friday reported Ms Miller, the former police minister, had delivered Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk an ultimatum that she would quit if not reinstated to the front bench within 48 hours.

The Bundamba MP, who resigned as minister in December following a string of controversies, has dismissed the claims as "malicious rumours".

The government's position in parliament became more precarious this week with the resignation of Cairns MP Rob Pyne from the party, meaning Labor and the Liberal National Party (LNP) hold 42 seats each in the state's 89-seat parliament.

Deputy Premier Jackie Trad on Friday said the government was focused on the big picture and not individuals.

"I have no views on whether or not Jo-Ann should or should not be in the cabinet. Ultimately it's up to the premier to make that call," she said.

Ms Trad said Ms Palaszczuk had "got the mix right" in the expanded cabinet, which included regional MPs and a good gender composition.

"We are working hard to deliver what Queenslanders expect of us - jobs, infrastructure, innovation and investment," she said.

"That's what the cabinet is solely focused on."

Health Minister Cameron Dick said reports of the ultimatum were a matter for Ms Miller.

When asked whether she should shelve her front-bench ambitions, he replied: "It's a matter for the premier. The premier picks the team.

"We all serve Queensland to the best of our ability in whatever portfolio and ministry that we serve in."
