Katter's Australian Party is the only alternative to two mainstream parties which are owned by mining companies and will sell off Queensland's assets, its leader Bob Katter says.
The federal independent MP received a rock star's treatment at his fledgling conservative party's first convention in Brisbane on Saturday.
Introduced to a standing ovation from about 250 of the party faithful, Mr Katter told the packed room that the Liberal National Party was no different to Queensland Labor.
LNP leader Campbell Newman was half-owned by mining magnate Clive Palmer and the coal seam gas industry, he said.
Premier Anna Bligh was guaranteed to sell electricity infrastructure if Labor was re-elected at next month's state poll, but so would the LNP, Mr Katter said.
"If the LNP gets elected, they'll sell them faster," he said.
