Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has urged new senator Pauline Hanson to act responsibly and not put the state at risk.
The One Nation leader has claimed one of Queensland's twelve senate seats and is likely to pick up a second depending on how preferences are distributed.
There was a strong swing to Labor across the state in Saturday's federal election, particularly in regional areas, with the party on track to pick up possibly four or five seats from the LNP.
Ms Palaszczuk said the election showed Queenslanders perceived Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to be "out of touch".
"They don't want to be ignored, they want to be listened to," Ms Palaszczuk told reporters on Sunday.

"It's very easy to go down to Canberra to be in the bubble, but fundamentally if you want to be in touch with people's concerns you must be out in the community."
Ms Palaszczuk said Ms Hanson and other incoming senators should be responsible and not put important state issues like exports and tourism at risk.
"My message to all the senators is you must stand up for Queensland but you must act responsibly," she said.
