Civil libertarians have labelled her decision to cut KAP staff as "anti-democratic" It came after she called on KAP to denounce senator Fraser Anning over his "final solution" comments about migrants

Annastacia Palaszczuk announced she would axe the extra positions granted to the KAP last term, after the party refused to denounce the contentious maiden speech of its federal senator Fraser Anning.

KAP state leader Robbie Katter said he had sought legal advice on whether the Premier had breached the criminal code by unduly influencing a member of parliament.

"That has very serious criminal elements [and] implications to it," Mr Katter said.

"An officer in government cannot intimidate you or threaten you in any way, particularly with financial resources, and the Premier has explicitly done that.

"She said it in Parliament that unless you change your position on this issue, I'll remove those resources."

Section 60 of the Queensland Criminal Code — which regards bribery of a member of parliament — states a person is not allowed "directly or indirectly, by fraud, or by threats or intimidation of any kind, to influence a member of the Legislative Assembly in the member's vote, opinion, judgment, or action."

Mr Katter said he had sought legal advice from the Clerk of Parliament and others, and may refer the Premier to the Crime and Corruption Commission.

"We're currently taking advice and we feel there's very strong grounds there to proceed," he said.

"It seems pretty cut and dry from our point of view.

"She's bowed over to some internal party interests and the LNP's pressure, and rolled over and taken the easy road out, so I think it reflects very poorly on her and I think she's put herself in a very precarious position legally now that we'll be pursuing."

Ms Palaszczuk denied she was trying to unlawfully intimidate KAP members of Parliament, and said she was not concerned by Mr Katter's threat of legal action.

"I'm not worried about that at all," Ms Palaszczuk said.

"Arrangements were put in place with the Katter Party, which is normal for minority governments, and we're a majority government and I made my views very clear."

The controversy between the Government and KAP erupted when Senator Anning used his maiden speech to call for a complete overhaul of the immigration system, insisting most migrants should be from a European Christian background and all Muslims should be banned.

In that speech, he also used the phrase "final solution", the same phrase used by the Nazis under Adolf Hitler, meaning annihilating Jewish people from Europe.

Ms Palaszczuk had called upon KAP to denounce Senator Anning or face losing the five extra discretionary staff, including two electorate positions, granted to the state party last term during the hung parliament.

"Because his party will not denounce senator Fraser Anning, I denounce his party," she told the Labor State Conference on Sunday.

Move labelled 'anti-democratic' by civil libertarians

Earlier, the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties accused the Premier of acting in the same manner as controversial politician Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

Civil Liberties Council Vice-President Terry O'Gorman said the Premier's decision was anti-democratic and should be reversed.

"She said, 'Senator Anning gave an appalling speech and while there is freedom of speech, there are consequences'," Mr O'Gorman said.

"Now come on, that's almost a Joh 'don't you worry about' that comment."

Mr O'Gorman said Ms Palaszczuk's actions contradicted recommendations of the 1989 Fitzgerald Inquiry report into corruption in Queensland.

"In that report, Commissioner Fitzgerald reviewed the history of the then Labor opposition complaints that the then Bjelke-Petersen government kept taking resources from the Labor opposition so they couldn't do their job," he said.

"And what do we now have? We have a Labor Government doing the same thing.

"It is fundamentally wrong and we call on the Premier to immediately reverse her decision."
