Country singer James Blundell has set his eyes on a senatorial seat as Queensland's lead candidate for Bob Katter's Australian Party.

The 48-year-old Golden Guitar winner, whom Katter describes as a breath of fresh air, has expressed readiness for Australia politics.

He added, however, that the prospect of holding power in a public office can be quite intimidating, too.

"That's the thing that's given me most pause for thought," Blundell said of the pressures that come along with being an elected official.

"But the issues that I think are most relevant are the ones I've already spent the most time considering and hearing the opinions of those I know and respect and will have the opportunity to represent.

"That said, it's pretty daunting," he added.

Among all the hot debates in Australia today, Blundell says that his utmost priority are the issues that affect rural life.

"If it came down to me to cast a deciding vote on gay marriage, for example, I really couldn't say what I would do until I was in that position," he told AAP.

The straight talking entertainer said that he thinks of gay marriage as more of an emotional issue, and therefore does not merit as much urgency as compared to other pressing social and economic concerns

"I just don't see it as being as important as chewing up the live export trade or driving job creation for our young people," Blundell said.

Described by Bob Katter as sort of a non-traditional politician, Blundell has made it known that he would not sacrifice personal thoughts and conviction to satisfy allegiance to a political party.

"I just feel that there is such profound public fatigue with party political processes, that it would help for the community to hear some independent thinking," Blundell said.

The father of three boys, soon to be four, cuts an image that is a welcome change to Australia politics.

"James is anything but a career politician, which sadly 95 per cent of our MPs are," Mr Katter said.

"Like most Australians, James spent almost a decade of his young adult life in knockabout, hands-on jobs."

If Blundell wins in the September 14 elections, he automatically assumes a seat in the senate come July 2014.
