Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has bet the farm on convincing Queenslanders she needs a majority in the state election, insisting she won't form government with crossbenchers.
Ms Palaszczuk has specifically ruled out governing with the support of the Greens or Katter's Australian Party, having already said she'll never accept One Nation's backing.
"I've said no deals, I've said that on numerous occasions during the election campaign," she told reporters on Friday.
"The alternative is bleak. It is going to be a stark choice on election day."
It follows a resounding win for the premier in the only debate of the campaign, the Sky News People's Forum on Thursday night, where 60 per cent of the audience of undecided voters said they would vote for Ms Palaszczuk.
That compared to just 12 per cent for Liberal National Party Leader Tim Nicholls, while One Nation leader Steve Dickson received 10 per cent and 18 per cent were undecided.
Mr Nicholls was jeered by the crowd for refusing to state whether he would work with One Nation to form government if it held the balance of power after the November 25 poll.
But the LNP leader hit back on Friday, accusing Ms Palaszczuk of "arrogance" on the issue.
"The reality is, we are the servants of the people and we have to accept the will of the people and I've said we will work with the parliament the people of Queensland provide," Mr Nicholls said.
"I think it would be the height of arrogance to hold a gun to the people of Queensland's head, as Annastacia Palaszczuk has said, and say 'I won't respect your views'."
Mr Dickson said he believed both the premier and opposition leader would "drag themselves over broken glass" to rule and would work with anyone to gain power.
Mr Nicholls received a boost on Friday with former prime minister John Howard joining him in the ultra-marginal seat of Mount Ommaney in Brisbane's west.
Mr Howard attacked Ms Palaszczuk over her "mixed messages" on the Adani coal mine, saying her views change based on where she is in Queensland.
But Mr Howard also touched on a difficult issue for Mr Nicholls, saying Queensland's public service was too large, which did not help the state's debt levels.
Mr Nicholls has been haunted during the campaign over the role he played in sacking 14,000 public servants during the previous Newman government.
Labor received an economic blow with the Bureau of Statistics revealing the state's growth had fallen to 1.8 per cent, above only WA and Tasmania.
Both parties are gearing up for their campaign launches on Sunday, marking the start of the final week-long push to election day.
