The LNP has rejected reports it has called for federal back-up to boost the party's popularity in regional Queensland seats ahead of the next election.
It has been confirmed Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce will be one of several MPs to visit the state during the election campaign.
But Opposition treasury spokesman Scott Emerson denied Mr Joyce's reputation would be used to specifically target disaffected regional voters.
"We know Barnaby's popular up here — of course he'll be up here," he said.
"So will Malcolm [Turnbull], so will the rest of the team be up here during election campaign — but what else would you expect?"
A LNP spokesman said Mr Joyce's involvement would not be part of a targeted strategy.
Mr Emerson also denied Mr Joyce would be brought in to specifically boost the likeability and authenticity of Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls.
"There'll be no special focus on any particular individual — we'll be always getting all of our federal colleagues up here," Mr Emerson said.
"We work very closely with our federal colleagues and we believe people out there don't want to see particular tiers of government brawling with each other."
Last year, federal Attorney-General George Brandis labelled his Queensland LNP colleagues as "very, very mediocre" — a claim which was refuted by Mr Nicholls.
Nicholls 'popular' outside state capital: MP
LNP Fairfax MP Ted O'Brien rejected claims Mr Nicholls was not popular outside south-east Queensland.
"I was with Tim Nicholls only last weekend at the Sunshine Coast Agricultural show, and I can assure you he was popular there," Mr O'Brien said.
"Tim Nicholls leads a team — he is the right person to be premier, he's showing the leadership that's necessary."
Mr O'Brien said all his federal counterparts had a responsibility to help in the Queensland election.
"I think everybody who is in federal parliament has a role to play," he said.
"Whether it be the prime minister, all the way down to new backbenchers like me, everyone has a role to play to ensure the people of Queensland has good, strong, stable governance."
Labor Health Minister Cameron Dick said he was not concerned Mr Joyce could sway voters have in regional areas.
"We're not worried about Barnaby Joyce — the person who should be worried is Tim Nicholls," he said.
"Now he's got to rely on someone who was a Queenslander, who went to New South Wales to bolster his leadership."
