State candidate for Buderim Lynette Bishop has hit out at allegations Katter's Australian Party (KAP) may be sexist.

The reply came after a Courier-Mail article revealed KAP had only four women recruited among its 54 candidates.

Ms Bishop, who is one of those four, and who has launched a bid for the seat currently held by LNP's Steve Dickson, said any suggestion KAP was sexist was ridiculous.

"That's bull**** she said.

"I'm really proud to be standing for this party and in no way have I ever felt like anyone has treated me unfairly.

"Bob (Katter) tells me I'm a 'handsome sheila' and I don't take any offence to that, it's not like they are out there eyeing off my breasts," she said.

Ms Bishop said she was very well respected and very well treated within the party.

"I think the problem is many women do have jobs and families to juggle and they don't have time to run for positions in politics, but to say the party is sexist is just ridiculous.

"I hate sexist crap like that, but I hate feminist crap like that as well," she said.

"I've never had any discrimination."

"He (Bob Katter) likes women and he values women and values the difference between them."
