We don't need it and we don't want it — that is the message Lord Mayor Robert Doyle is sending Brisbane after the announcement Queensland's capital has been chosen to host the G20 world leaders summit in 2014.

"They didn't win the G20, they were given the G20, when you think about the reasons given, that Brisbane has a curfew free airport and they have great convention facilities, well Melbourne has a curfew free airport and our convention facilities are the best in Australia," he said .

"This is a bit of federal government pork-barrelling," he said.

Cr Doyle said he was not worried about the summit being held in Brisbane.
