Annastacia Palaszczuk has accused former premier Campbell Newman of looking to axe the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast during his premiership, but the ex-LNP leader says he has "no idea" what his successor is talking about.

The allegation was made after LNP leader Deb Frecklington asked about "bungles", including who was responsible for athletes being cut from the closing ceremony and quiet trade on the Gold Coast during the Games.

In response, Ms Palaszczuk said she had heard "rumours" the former LNP government had considered cancelling the Commonwealth Games.

"I have heard rumours which I would like clarified - and perhaps the member for Currumbin may be able to help us here - that the former premier Campbell Newman and the member for Currumbin were looking at axing the Commonwealth Games," the Premier said under parliamentary privilege.
