The partly-elected Queensland Labor party faces a long wait to see if it can form a government on its own, as minor parties put out the price of their allegiance.

With five seats still too close to call, Labor and the LNP are waiting on word from two Katter’s Australia Party MPs and Independent Peter Wellington.

There is, of course, the possibility that the LNP (with its 39 seats to Labor’s 42) could gain all the spots still to be counted and the backing of other parties, to dramatically retain power.

KAP founder Bob Katter is not happy with the choice his party members must make.

“I think you’re looking at possibly the two worst governments in Queensland history,’’ he said at Parliament House this week.

“None of those people are capable of running government, none of them had any experience in running government.’

“If you want to ask Robbie Katter and Shane Knuth how many begging telephone calls they've got from the Liberals ... oh, last week it was chaos, now we want chaos ... how stupid, how stupid.’’

Meanwhile, the peak local government body in Queensland has been criticised for endorsing the Liberal National Party just two days before last Saturday's poll.

A pre-election media release by Local Government Association of Queensland president Margaret de Wit said the group was “more confident local government could work to implement the infrastructure commitments of a returned LNP government”.

“A hung Parliament would endanger the task of ensuring timely and sustainable infrastructure planning and building programs for the regions,” the president’s statement said.

But Cr de Wit added that “local councils were keen to work with whichever party won government”.

However, a story in Fairfax Media’s Sydney Morning Herald said the LGAQ leader’s comments were unheard-of among similar local government groups.

“Such political partisanship has never been shown in NSW even when the peak body here was headed by a known party supporter,” the article states.

“Not mentioned [in the LGAQ statement] was the Campbell Newman administration's decision to wind back a number of council amalgamations forced through by the previous Labor regime.

“Nor were the personal politics of the LGAQ leadership.”

“We have never taken a position to support or put our weight behind a political party,” president of Local Government NSW Keith Rhoades told Fairfax reporters.

“We always talk to all parties and work with the democratically elected government to achieve the best outcomes for local government.”
