Queensland Labor will lower the political donation reporting threshold to $1000 retrospectively so it will also apply to the Newman government.
Labor's justice spokeswoman Yvette D'Ath has told a law conference the lower threshold, promised during the state election campaign, would restore government openness and accountability.
She said the LNP's decision to raise the threshold to $12,800 had eroded public confidence in the integrity of government decisions.
She said Labor would also restore power to the Crime and Corruption Commission, which was watered down under the LNP government.
Katter's Australian Party member Rob Katter also spoke at the Brisbane event, saying he believed the two-party political system was "failing us at the moment".
It was too easy for parties to be influenced by big companies with lots of money, and that this was causing people to "lose their voice", he said.
"They are too easily influenced by corporate interests ... and they can disempower the individual," he said.
Mr Katter said minor parties and independents were essential to break up the control of the major parties in parliament.
"Until we can embrace more parties into that arena to create tension ... and bring competitiveness of values and ideas, you're always going to have those problems."
Earlier on Monday, Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was confident of forming Queensland's next government within days, with the support of independent Peter Wellington.
