One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has announced 36 candidates who will stand at the next Queensland election, saying there were plans to announce more soon.

She said she was "wiser, more knowledgeable, experienced, and the party has moved on", after One Nation's 11-seat victory in the 1998 state election.

"I'm actually targeting every seat that I'm ... standing a candidate in to actually go ahead and win — I've got a positive attitude and so have my candidates," Ms Hanson said.

"This is not just 'we're going to try', this is all about we are going in to win to look at forming government in Queensland.

"With the right policies, with the right determination, that Queensland will be the state that will be an example for the rest of the country under the banner of One Nation.

"We have got a lot more experience, a lot more knowledge to offer the people of Queensland."

A recent Galaxy poll conducted for The Courier-Mail found One Nation was currently polling at 16 per cent in Queensland.

Candidates carefully chosen, party bosses say

Earlier on Sunday, party bosses said it had learnt from its mistakes in Queensland and vetted its candidates carefully for the next state election.

One Nation won 22.68 per cent of the primary vote in the Queensland state election in 1998, and Jim Savage, the party's Queensland campaign manager and candidate for Lockyer, said candidates had been carefully checked to avoid the infighting that followed that victory.

"In 1998 we could have chosen our candidates better," Mr Savage said.

"Some of the candidates were tremendous, but we did have some disappointing results from some of our candidates, there's no point in denying it.

"We are being very very careful with our selection now."

Ms Hanson said the party would be launching more candidates next month, including in north Queensland.

She said all the candidates had been carefully vetted.

"It's very important to us [One Nation] to have the right candidate," she said.

"There are some candidates that put their names forward that we said: 'thank you but no thank you.'

"This is only the first batch of candidates we are announcing today — we will be announcing more as time goes on — hopefully by mid to late January."

'Dispossessed vote' for One Nation to tap into: analyst

Griffith University political analyst Dr Paul Williams said there was a "dispossessed vote" for One Nation to tap into for the next Queensland election.

"We've seen Brexit, we've seen Donald Trump — there's a real right-wing conservative dispossessed vote out there that's just ready to be tapped and One Nation has been quite adroit in capturing, so I'm expecting a big swing to One Nation in the next election," Dr Williams said.

"Pretty much everywhere outside of the south-east I think you will see some good swings to One Nation — well into the double-digits in some seats.

"You can expect big gains for One Nation in terms of the vote but of course that doesn't necessarily translate into seats — that has yet to be seen as to where the major parties preference each other and where they place One Nation.

"I think we will see a better qualified, more media savvy raft of political candidates for One Nation."

Federal Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said the Coalition was not worried about One Nation.

"One Nation is a competitor of ours and we will do everything we can to explain why people should put their trust in us," he said.

"It's not a matter of being worried — it's a matter of focusing on the task at hand and that is to explain what we intend to do to put our respective jurisdictions in the strongest possible foundations for the future."
