Outspoken Queensland Labor MP Jo-Ann Miller has urged her party to be respectful of One Nation voters.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has ruled out doing any deals with One Nation, even if it means Labor loses government.
Ms Miller said her party had to balance that stance with how many seats One Nation wins.
"I think we have to wait and see what happens after the election," Mrs Miller told ABC News.
"I don't believe that Labor will go into any negotiations with One Nation.
"However if they have a hell of a bolt out of the blue what we've got to be mindful of is respecting the people's decisions as well."
Ms Palaszczuk has been strident in ruling out dealing with Pauline Hanson's party to win government.
"I have said, 'absolutely no' — this is all or nothing. It's either people are going to support what I stand for, or they won't," Ms Palasczuk told ABC News last month.
"I'm prepared to put it all at risk."
But Ms Miller, the Member for Bundamba, west of Brisbane, had a more conciliatory tone.
"If the people of Queensland vote for a number of people to come in for One Nation we've got to be respectful of them in the Parliament and we've also got to be respectful of those people who they represent," she said.
Ms Miller said many Queenslanders were yet to engage with the election campaign, but a significant number believed neither of the major parties were worthy of their vote.
"And what they're saying is they will park their vote with One Nation as a protest," she said.
Recent polling has indicated a huge surge in support for One Nation, with the possibility neither Labor or the LNP would be able to secure a majority.
Ms Miller said the dual citizenship saga in federal politics and increasing pressure on household budgets were two areas where the major parties had lost voters.
She has criticised and clashed with her own party on a number of issues, including the Government's response to the black lung disease report, corruption allegations against former Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale and Adani.
Ms Miller also supports a new coal-fired power station being built in Queensland, which is an LNP policy that Ms Palaszczuk has criticised.
"In my electorate, people understand that coal-fired power is very important," she said.
"There needs to be a more steady transition across to renewable energy."
She said she is unapologetic about speaking up.
"Loyalty does not mean shutting up. Loyalty does not mean keeping quiet."
