Independent Queensland MP Billy Gordon says he won't support a cross bench strategy to hand over power to the opposition if the premier calls an early election.
The Cook MP says the threat, made by ALP defector Rob Pyne and Katter's Australian Party last week, would give government to a party that has previously privatised public assets and cut "thousands of Queensland jobs."
He said some in the state were still reeling from job losses under the former government of Campbell Newman.
"There is no way in the world I will be a party to any strategy that hands back government to a Lawrence Springborg-led opposition," he told ABC radio on Tuesday.
Mr Pyne and the two Katter Australian MPs also plan to block bills relating to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk's $35 billion state infrastructure plan, which they say short-changes the state's north.

Mr Gordon, who was sacked from the party following revelations about his past criminal history, said he sympathised with the so-called "northern bloc's" argument but had a problem with how they were prosecuting their case.
He said the government had created stability in the parliament and advised his cross bench colleagues to "have a better plan" and "stay calm".
"I think holding the government over the barrel of a gun isn't the way to go," he said.
"I've never felt I've needed to do that."
The Palaszczuk government needs the support of three crossbenchers to get legislation through the parliament.
Mr Gordon says he wasn't rejoining Labor "at the moment" and intends to recontest the next election as an independent.
He said he hoped Ms Palaszczuk served a full term but understood there were a number of "forces" that would influence when an election is called.
