Nick Xenophon has released his priorities if his new NXT party gains the balance of power after Saturday's election.

The Nick Xenophon Team (NXT) may end up with at least three Senate seats and is threatening to oust former Liberal minister Jamie Briggs in the South Australian seat of Mayo.

"We will use our numbers; we'll do a combination of things," he told the Advertiser, putting jobs creation and protecting manufacturing at the top.
