Queensland cabinet ministers are denying their team is divided despite the need for a pep talk from Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk about staying focused.
Ms Palaszczuk on Monday admitted she would take a message of "delivering for Queensland" to her afternoon cabinet meeting following rumours and consistent reports of tension between senior ministers.
Labor's anti-gang laws, the need to remove 17-year-olds from adult jails and the party's embarrassing legislative defeat on tree-clearing changes are said to be fuelling the in-fighting.
"I want every single minister focused, absolutely 100 per cent focused, on delivering for Queensland," Ms Palaszczuk said.
The premier adopted the government's new dismissive label for such speculation, "low-level gossip", which was also used by her deputy Jackie Trad on the weekend as she stressed Ms Palaszczuk had her full support.

Both Ms Palaszczuk and Ms Trad have said they have no interest in addressing the whispers.
The Liberal National Party opposition has also joined in on the speculation, saying the government was "deeply divided" on key issues.
But Ms Palaszczuk said her colleagues had "firm views" when it came to policy discussions.
"What you have seen from my cabinet is that we have tackled some very complex issues and reached what I believe to be is the right solution."
Environment minister Dr Steven Miles insisted the cabinet didn't feel divided.
Dr Miles said while there was a need for debate, any division didn't go deeper than ministers wanting to work through the government's agenda.
Transport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe agreed there were differing views on some policy ideas.
"That's always going to be the case in any form of politics," he said.
"I'm very confident the cabinet's united in the one cause of delivering good government for Queensland."
Minister for Innovation Leanne Enoch called the cabinet team "robust".
"We've got a great leader who allows us to have those kind of conversations and for me that's a very healthy way of being able to run a team," she said.
Health Minister Cameron Dick said the cabinet was "united in delivering the best outcomes for Queensland".
Ms Trad has even gone as far as to offer a "100 per cent" guarantee there would be no spill in the Labor party room.
The cabinet was on Monday expected to thrash out more of the issues around removing 17-year-olds from adult prisons with the premier promising that would occur before 2018.
