NICKLIN independent MP Peter Wellington has called out politicians suggesting they could block the state's budget, saying it was a "coward's way” to force the Palaszczuk Government to an early election.

Opposition LNP leader Tim Nichols, the two Katter Australia Party members and One Nation leader Steve Dickson have all hinted the option was on the table ahead of the June 13 budget which will come at least six months before Queensland is due to return to the polls.

Mr Wellington, Parliament's Speaker and only independent member, was having none of it.

"If the crossbench is to have any credibility it should do the honourable thing now and test the numbers with a no confidence motion in the government,” he said.

"What they shouldn't do on any basis is threaten to stop funding essential services like nurses, police and firefighters.

"That's the coward's way. They should test the confident in the government on the floor of the Parliament, not threaten to stop the public service and the wheels of government.”

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Budget would reaffirm the government's commitment to creating jobs and boosting frontline services, particularly in health and education.

"Our strong focus on the regional Queensland - in terms of our capital works program, service delivery and our $1 billion investment in dedicated regional job and infrastructure programs - will be reinforced in the next State Budget,” she said.

"Let's be clear - blocking the budget would block jobs in regional Queensland.”

Ms Palaszczuk said a similar threat to block the budget was made in March last year.

However, she said Mount Isa MP Robbie Katter had ultimately described the 2017-17 Budget as "a win for rural Queensland and the Mount Isa electorate ... (and he) was thrilled to see money for key infrastructure projects which would create jobs and stimulate the economy in the bush.”

"My government will continue to work with the crossbenchers. By working with the crossbenchers, my Government has secured the support of the Parliament for 96 pieces of legislation in our first two years in office,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

Opposition leader Tim Nichols told the Courier Mail the LNP would act responsibly but was not ruling anything in or out.

"We won't just act for political opportunism,” he said.

"We'll see what the Budget is. I mean, I'm not ruling in or ruling out.

"We haven't even seen the Budget yet, we don't know where the money's being spent, we don't know what's being done and I think it's irresponsible to make those sort of claims before you've even seen the Budget.”

Mr Katter, fellow KAP member Shane Knuth and One Nation MP Steve Dickson have insisted they want to work with the Premier.

The Courier Mail report said the crossbenchers had used their first caucus together on Monday to discuss blocking the Budget and forcing an early election if they were not satisfied with its content.

"It's a tight Parliament and no one has got a clear majority and we are simply acknowledging what the situation is,” Mr Katter said.

"The Budget has to deliver for all of Queensland and we play a role in that. We can work through things with the government any time.”
