Queensland Premier Anna Bligh denies the existence of any challenges to her leadership of the state Labor Party, apparently convinced that politics is the last thing in the minds of people especially during the holiday season.

Besides, Ms Bligh maintained that too many concerns need to be addressed in Queensland and chief among them is the brewing showdown with federal authorities on state royalty tax questions.

The Premier added that the prolonged wet weathers prevailing in the region also dominate her agenda for weeks ahead as she emphasised that "now is the time for us to be focusing on what Queenslanders want us to do, not to be squabbling among ourselves."

Ms Bligh made her comments amidst reports that some Labor party members are fearful that the ruling party could lose power if the Premier keeps her posts as both party leader and head of the state.

The seeming unpopularity of Ms Bligh could put an end to Labor's almost two-decade rule, which currently holds a 51-seat majority in the state parliament.

With the Premier serving out her term, Labor stalwarts are reportedly anxious that most of those seats would be lost come the next state elections though Ms Bligh had already declared in August this year that she would vacate her post if she felt that her tenure has become a liability for the Queensland Labor Party.

Ms Bligh rode to power on her own right and is the first Australian female politician to do so yet that feat may have been reduced to the back memory of Queenslanders as restiveness marred her later policies on the state's power and water issues, as well as the high-profile privatisation of public assets.

Queensland opposition leader John-Paul Langbroek said that Ms Bligh already lost the confidence of Queenslanders, which is why a question on her leadership has been raised by Labor leaders.

However, Langbroek dismissed suggestions that his party may be in for an easy win in the next election, on the back of Ms Bligh's growing unpopularity.

Instead, the opposition leader has emphasised that they are even more cautious despite indications that the opposition would fare well in the elections, noting that the ruling party has yet to be trounced since the elections of November 1986.
