Former Labor MP Rick Williams says the Queensland Government's leader of the house had no problem with the altercation that led the Queensland Premier ordering his disendorsement from the ALP.

Annastacia Palaszczuk directed the ALP to disendorse the member for Pumicestone, Rick Williams, over a complaint that he threatened a local constituent.

The move increased speculation that Ms Palaszczuk will call an election in coming days.

It also earned condemnation from the Opposition.

LNP spokesman Scott Emerson said Mr Williams was a serial offender, particularly against women, and that Labor had failed to act against him because they needed his vote.

At a media conference on Saturday afternoon, Mr Williams said he had a recording of the altercation with a woman this week that prompted the Premier's move.

"The person was a media person and I've made it a practice, same as the Premier and all of them, that when you talk with media you always record what you're saying," he said.

"I did mention the fact that the Palaszczuk Government has burnt many backbenchers.

"Now that is the same context I used that word in, that that person has now taken and said they fear for their life because of it."

'I'm glad to have the monkey off my back'

Mr Williams said he had not thought the Premier would use the altercation against him.

"Stirling Hinchliffe [ALP leader of the house] listened to that recording on Thursday in Parliament and didn't seem to think it was any issue," he said.

"They've [the ALP] used my vote for the past 33 months and then they go and do this to me.

"I'm glad to have the monkey off my back in that I have been gagged from speaking about all the allegations that have been levelled against me over the last 33 months.

"The police have investigated many of those complaints and found them to be without substance.

"I've spent the last 33 months being told what to do and when to do it.

"Because Labor wouldn't let me talk on my own, I became a soft target in that people of all persuasions thought hang on we can fire a shot at Rick Williams because he never ever swings back.

"But yes I wholeheartedly believe I am a good bloke and I look after people."

Mr Williams said he intended to remain in Parliament as an independent and that he would support an ALP government as an independent if it was re-elected with a thin majority.

"The cross benches is a place where you can achieve a lot for your community and I would look forward to that position."

'I told him you have a problem': Hinchliffe

"Mr Williams played an audio recording of a telephone conversation he'd had with the local newspaper editor to me, after I had raised a few concerns that I was aware of suggestions that this person had made complaints about him [Mr Williams] making threats to her," Mr Hinchcliffe said.

"The upshot of that was I expressed to him that it was an issue and he needed to be talking to the Premier's office, which I understood he initiated, and I also spoke further to the Premier's office about it."

Mr Hinchliffe did not agree with the comment that Mr Williams had made about the recording.

"I don't agree. I agreed with him that the content of the audio recording didn't have the same suggestion of threats of physical violence, which is what had been raised with me initially," he said.

"But I said that there are problems with his language and his tone in the audio recording — particularly the comments about burning an individual, so I said to him 'you have a problem'."
