Media should not cast judgement on embattled independent Queensland MP Billy Gordon, as he grew up in an Indigenous community where domestic violence is rife, MP Rob Katter says.

Speaking on 612 ABC Brisbane this morning, Mr Katter spoke of the Katter's Australian Party's (KAP) negotiations with Mr Gordon to form a "northern caucus" within Queensland's hung Parliament.

Mr Gordon resigned from the ALP in March after failing to disclose a history of juvenile crime.

Police are now investigating allegations of domestic violence raised by two of his former partners, who also claim he owes them child support.

When asked whether people should cut Mr Gordon some extra slack because he grew up in an Indigenous community in Queensland, Mr Katter said it was hard not to consider his background.

"A lot of that is rife through Aboriginal communities and here's the big news flash: Billy Gordon grew up in a predominantly Aboriginal community," he said.

"I think it's hard not to take that into consideration.

"That is a different world up there and there's some very, very confronting experiences in those sorts of places.

"I think it's very hard for us in mainstream media to cast judgement on people when you can grow up in very different lifestyles and that's what we're faced with here."

However Mr Katter said the KAP's alliance with Mr Gordon was not a "full-blown support for his position".

"It's just let's give a person a break ... and wait until the jury is out," the Member for Mount Isa said.

Alliance in best interests of rural Queensland: Katter

Mr Katter said his party's alliance with Mr Gordon was in the best interests of their electorates.

"To me he's a number in Parliament and he's a member for Cook. At the moment and we have a lot of aligned issues," he said.

"He's got a predominantly rural and western electorate so we can champion some issues for rural parts of Queensland that have been forgotten for a long time and use that leverage.

"I think it would be fairly inappropriate for us not to use that opportunity to deliver some things to the people of rural and regional Queensland."

On Tuesday night, the Liberal National Party failed in its bid to change voting procedures in State Parliament to allow Mr Gordon's vote to be nullified.

Labor, Katter's Australian Party and the member for Cook united to prevent the motion.

This morning, Mr Katter said it was time to move on and focus on the bigger issues affecting the state.

"As far as we're concerned, we see Parliament's preoccupied with the wrongdoings or otherwise of someone who hasn't been charged with anything yet," he said.

"People are pretty dissatisfied that we're going to occupy all our time in Parliament and the media space talking about the indiscretions or otherwise of one particular member.

"He's sitting in there and we're occupying our time in Parliament where there's some pretty big problems out there.

"I'm not sure if people have noticed the unemployment rate is pretty high up there and we've got a rural crisis which is of epic proportions out in western areas of Queensland."

He said domestic violence was a serious issue, but should not dominate parliamentary talks.

"We all feel very strongly about domestic violence and I'm buried in it in my electorate," he said.

"There's high incidents of it and its a terrible thing.

"Should it still be dominating our debate in Parliament right now? No, I don't think it should."
