'It's just Jo-Ann being Jo-Ann': Premier hits back at corruption allegations

Rogue Labor MP Jo-Ann Miller's accusations of corruption in her own government have been dismissed as simply "Jo-Ann being Jo-Ann".

But the minority government will make no moves to oust Ms Miller from the Labor Party, despite her damaging comments on Tuesday night.

The member for Bundamba claimed her party ignored allegations of corruption against former Ipswich mayor Paul Pisasale, drawing comparisons between her government and the corrupt Bjelke-Petersen era.

Ms Miller said she raised the issues multiple times with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Deputy Premier Jackie Trad also knew of her concerns.

Ms Palaszczuk admitted she felt "quite hurt and upset" by Ms Miller's comments.

"I pride myself on my integrity," she said.

"I joined the Labor Party at the height of the Bjelke-Petersen era."

Ms Palaszczuk said she took "deep offence" at the comparisons to the Bjelke-Petersen government, and she rejected the allegations of corruption.

But Labor will not eject the maverick backbencher from the party, and Ms Palaszczuk would not answer say whether any disciplinary action would be taken against her.

"I think it's just Jo-Ann being Jo-Ann," she said.

"There's an election coming up and the people of Bundamba will have that choice. She was elected to serve the people of Bundamba and I hope she continues to do that."

In Parliament, Ms Miller tried to speak in relation to a matter of privilege suddenly arising.

"I want to make it very clear that I do know the procedures in relation to the CCC," Ms Miller said.

"However, that does not stop me from advising any other minister or premier of what I might have done."

Speaker Peter Wellington said it was not a matter of privilege suddenly arising.

Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls said Ms Palaszczuk and her government had serious questions to answer.

"They refer to allegations of corruption, they go to the heart of Annastacia Palaszczuk's claims of transparency and openness," he said.

"They shine a light on the murky world of internal Labor politics."

Mr Nicholls said Queensland should have moved on from the Bjelke-Petersen days.

"This is an extraordinary allegation for a Labor member to make about Annastacia Palaszczuk's government," he said.

Asked if Ms Miller's comments were a good look for Labor, Ms Palaszczuk said: "I don't think the member for Bundamba has really gotten along with any premier or deputy premier, to be frank."

She said she was open to MPs raising issues of concern.

Ms Palaszczuk said if anyone had allegations of corruption, they should be referred to the Crime and Corruption Commission.

She reiterated that Ms Miller had brought issues to her while she was opposition leader, before the Ipswich MP took them to the CCC, but she was not provided with specific documentary evidence.

Deputy Premier Jackie Trad said went through her records from when she was local government minister regarding contact with Ms Miller.

"She has not once referred a matter or an allegation of corruption by the former mayor of Ipswich to me in my time as local government minister," Ms Trad said.

Police Minister Mark Ryan said Ms Miller was a great member of the Labor Party and had a "good Labor heart".

"She's committed to the party, she's Labor through and through," Mr Ryan said.

"The Labor Party, as you know, is a very broad church and I respect everyone's right to have an opinion."

But Mr Ryan said he disagreed with Ms Miller's assessment.

The issue is set to dominate a fiery question time on Wednesday.
