Minority govt not broken promise: premier

Queensland's new premier denies she has broken a promise by forming government with a crossbencher despite ruling out such deals during the election campaign.

In mid-January, both major parties made it clear they did not intend to form a minority government.

At the time, Annastacia Palaszczuk gave an emphatic answer when asked whether she was open to forming government with independents and minor parties.

"Let me make it very clear: no, no, no, no deals. Next question," she replied.

Ms Palaszczuk said "no" 10 times in under 15 seconds to emphasise her point.

After Labor's remarkable comeback gave them 44 seats at the January 31 poll, the party announced it would form government with the support of Independent MP Peter Wellington.

On Monday, Ms Palaszczuk denied that represented her first broken promise.

"I disagree with that because Peter Wellington and I have similar views when it comes to fundamental issues like integrity and accountability," she told Fairfax Radio.

"We want to restore integrity and accountability into the Queensland parliament. I also want to restore dignity as well."

She said she had engaged in discussion with Mr Wellington about such "shared values and shared issues" over the past three years.

"We've had some discussions with the Katter party but in the end we could not reach an agreement in relation to their issues. It was just a step too far."
