Bob Katter predicts minor parties will have a major role to play in Queensland's next state parliament.
The federal MP was in Townsville to lodge his own ballot and talk with voters on Saturday morning.
He predicted a close election would deliver a hung parliament, handing the minor parties the balance of power and a "major role" in the next state parliament.
Mr Katter dismissed earlier statements from both Labor and LNP ruling out doing deals with their smaller counterparts to secure power.
"(They) would sell their grandmothers into white slavery (to secure government)," he said.
The Katter's Australian Party has put up candidates in 11 seats this election.
Of those, the party currently holds two: Rob Katter in the Mount Isa electorate and Shane Knuth in Dalrymple.
Despite these seats being rated either safe or very safe for KAP, the party's federal leader said there were no sure bets for polling day.
"I wouldn't be counting our chickens before they hatch," he told AAP.
"But everywhere we've put someone up, we think we have a chance."
The margins of the seats the KAP is contesting are mostly double digits and range up to 25.5 per cent.
The party's best chance could be in the marginal Cape York seat of Cook, which the LNP hold by just 3.4 per cent.
According to Mr Katter, Lockyer and Gympie could also yield wins for KAP.
The LNP's plan to lease state-owned assets was the main reason for voter discontent with the Newman government, he said.
"It's completely mad," he said of the scheme.
"I don't know what we're going to be left owning."
But despite Labor campaigning against asset sales, he didn't endorse Annastacia Palaszczuk as a worthy of the state's top job.
Asked if the Labor leader deserved to become the next Queensland premier, he said: "Absolutely not."
Mr Katter returned to Brisbane on Saturday afternoon to take part in an election night television panel.
