The Greens have called for the resurrection of Queensland's upper house during a rally against the Newman government.

A host of union, political and social groups congregated in Brisbane's Queens Park on Saturday morning for the Rally Against Newman demonstration.

Protesters donned Guy Fawkes masks and brandished banners slamming the Liberal National Party on a number of fronts for adopting what they called a Joh Bjelke-Petersen style of government.

One man calling himself Spoon, claimed the LNP's Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment (VLAD) laws meant he was unfairly penalised for going on lawful "poker runs" with motorcycle gangs.

"They were police-sanctioned rides," the 38-year-old told AAP.

"And now they've pulled my security licence and I'm being forced to work for the dole."

Edmee Leroy, 32, said she'd come out with her young daughter to campaign against the sacking of public servants and nurses.

"I'm not in the Labor or Greens party but I really believe we have to put them in front of the LNP to make sure they're thrown out," the Ipswich local said.

Queensland Greens senator Larissa Waters, flanked by federal colleague Scott Ludlam and local candidate Jonathan Sri, joined the activists in calling for greater governmental accountability.

The best way to achieve this would be to re-introduce an upper house in Queensland via a referendum, she said.

"(The LNP have) been on an absolute rampage and that's because there's no house of review," she said.

A bicameral parliament would help uphold notions of good governance championed by the anti-corruption campaigner Tony Fitzgerald, Ms Waters said.

The so-called Fitzgerald principles became an election talking point after the LNP refused to sign a letter proclaiming the four key qualities of transparent governance.

The premier eventually gave impromptu approval to the principles during a debate with ALP rival Annastacia Palaszczuk on Friday night.

Queenslanders head to the polls on January 31.
