The One Nation co-founder has vowed the party will stand candidates at the poll due next year despite missing out on winning any seats in the recent Queensland election.

Ms Hanson lost the race for Lockyer, a semi-rural electorate between Toowoomba and Ipswich, by just 186 votes after preferences to LNP incumbent Ian Rickuss.

"Next federal election, we are going to have candidates."
