CAMPBELL Newman has demanded Labor apologise to all Queenslanders in the wake of broadcaster Alan Jones saying sorry to Prime Minister Julia Gillard about comments he made about her dead father.

Mr Newman on Monday said Mr Jones "had the guts" to apologise to Ms Gillard for suggesting her father died in shame and he would be happy to appear on his program.

However, Mr Newman said unlike Mr Jones, Labor were yet to say sorry for the series of accusations they levelled at him during the March election.

"He (Alan Jones) stood up and apologised," he said.

"Why don't they have the guts to do the same thing?

Do you agree with the Premier? Should we get a Jones-style apology from Labor? Have your say in the comments section below.

Mr Newman took particular aim at union leader John Battams, who was involved in Kate Jones' campaign - Mr Newman's rival for the seat of Ashgrove.

"I am still waiting for federal and state Labor and people like Mr John Battams of the Council of Unions who ran the Ashgrove Labor campaign to make their apology to the people of Queensland for misleading them," he said.

"This is where you do see hypocrisy.

"The Labor Party are never prepared to admit their smear campaigns and dirty tricks and nonsense.

Mr Newman used his own experience during the election to talk up the government's plans to introduce "safeguards" to stop the Crime and Misconduct Commission being used as a "political weapon".

The government is considering ways to prevent the CMC publicly confirming investigations into individuals as well as fines for politicians who lodge frivolous complaints to fan baseless allegations.

Mr Newman said he would not hesitate to forward allegations of misconduct to the CMC in the future but promised he would not publicly air the allegations.

"What we are talking about here is safeguards to stop people like (Opposition Leader) Annastacia Palaszczuk and Anna Bligh and Mr John Battams using the CMC as a political weapon, he said.

The Premier's comments came as a new poll showed the LNP remain enormously popular, despite internal concerns over the impact of Budget cost-cutting and the sackings of public servants.

The Newspoll largely reflected the recent Galaxy Poll however Mr Newman's personal satisfaction had not fallen as far.

Mr Newman said the Government was "very sad and sorry about job losses but hoped Queenslanders understood the reasons behind the decisions.

"I hope that Queenslanders continue to support the necessary action because we are doing it for them," he said.

"We are doing it to ensure they don't pay higher taxes and charges."
