Labor, LNP rule out minority govt in Qld

Both major parties have decided they don't want the poisoned chalice of a minority government when Queenslanders go to the polls later this month.

Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk has now expressed the view in emphatic fashion after previously refusing to address the issue at all.

"Let me make it very clear: no, no, no, no deals. Next question," Ms Palaszczuk said while campaigning in Ipswich on Monday.

It was part of a response where she said "no" 10 times in under 15 seconds to emphasise her point.

It flies in the face of Premier Campbell Newman's campaign strategy to scare voters into the prospect of Labor "flopping over the line" with the support of minor parties and independents.

The premier has been even more vocal against a hung parliament, going as far to say as he would "absolutely" rather be defeated than form a minority government.

"Let's not hang Queensland with a hung parliament," he said.

"We have a very strong team and a very strong plan and we can do great things for Queensland if we are elected in our own right."

The idea of a minority government has emerged with several recent polls putting both sides neck and neck, or thereabouts.

It would have been considered almost impossible after the 2012 election, which saw Mr Newman's Liberal National Party claim 78 of the 89 seats in Queensland's unicameral parliament.

The prospect has encouraged the formation of a loose alliance between independents Peter Wellington, Alex Douglas and Carl Judge and Katter's Australian Party MPs Rob Katter and Shane Knuth in opposition to privatisation.

Mr Wellington, a vocal opponent to the government's controversial anti-bikie legislation, says he wouldn't make any deals with the LNP anyway.

"I will not support a continuation of their extreme and vindictive policies," the Nicklin MP said.

Labor, who now holds nine seats after two by-elections, will need to pick up another 36 seats to govern in its own right.
