Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is continuing to stand behind Jo-Ann Miller after the rogue Labor MP seriously undermined the party's attack on One Nation by meeting Pauline Hanson on the campaign trail.
The premier insisted again on Tuesday that Ms Miller had done nothing wrong by meeting with Senator Hanson in her electorate of Bundamba on Tuesday and giving her a gift for her new grandchild.
"We addressed this yesterday, there is nothing wrong with people showing common decency to other people," the premier said on Wednesday.
"She is a member of the team, she is out campaigning to retain her seat of Bundamba."
Ms Palaszczuk said she still had not spoken to Ms Miller about the incident because they were both "busy campaigning".

She also insisted the incident wasn't planned, despite reporters on Ms Hanson's campaign bus being told of the meeting beforehand.
The premier on Tuesday said she would be happy for any of her other MPs and candidates to give Ms Hanson gifts as well.
It is unlikely the premier will take action before the election against Ms Miller, whose seat is one of the safest in the state and who has the backing of the powerful CFMEU.
Questions about Ms Miller's behaviour overshadowed Labor's latest attack on LNP leader Tim Nicholls.
Labor's "Cuts Express" campaign bus rolled into Bundaberg on Wednesday, meeting up with the Premier, who is campaigning in the city.
The black-clad bus is looking to remind voters of Mr Nicholls' cuts to jobs and services under the previous Newman government, and warn of the dangers of an LNP-One Nation minority government.
Labor frontbencher Cameron Dick is heading a contingent of Labor MPs on the bus, which is making its way up the coast as Ms Palaszczuk heads back down to Brisbane.
Mr Dick also said he didn't think Ms Miller's actions hindered her own party's attempt to link the LNP and One Nation.
"What I know about the people who live in Bundamba, and Inala and Woodridge, they feel the brunt of the cuts the worst," Mr Dick told reporters.
"And that's the choice for Queenslanders, are they going to back in cuts and chaos in a Tim Nicholls led government with One Nation, or are they going to back in a Labor government led by a strong premier."
Ms Palaszczuk refused to entertain any questions about whether she would stay on as opposition leader if Labor lost the election, while Mr Dick, when questioned over whether he would take over in that scenario, gave an emphatic "no".
