Teal independents are considering forming a political party to present voters with an alternative to the two major parties, but some of their ranks have already ruled out joining.
Independent MP Zali Steggall, who holds former Liberal prime minister Tony Abbott's old seat of Warringah in Sydney, confirmed the group was discussing how they could be more effective in parliament as Australia entered a time of "political flux".
"I'm always open ... I've made my third term, and after seven years in parliament, I can see how there are many things we could do politics better and differently," she told ABC Radio on Monday.
"There's huge frustration and unhappiness with the major parties."
It comes in response to recent analysis published by RedBridge Group and Accent showing One Nation could become the opposition if a federal election were to be held.
