It doesn't look like Prime Minister Tony Abbott will receive an invitation to the LNP's campaign launch on Sunday.

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, who has made a big effort to distance his government from the federal Coalition during the state election campaign, scoffed at the idea he would need Mr Abbott to speak at his launch.

"I have said already to you, unlike the Leader of the Opposition [Annastacia Palaszczuk], I don't need someone to hold my hand," he said in Emerald on Thursday.
