Queensland Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls has flatly denied claims of a secret deal between the Liberal National Party and One Nation in the state.

The ABC's Four Corners program on Monday night aired what it claimed to be a recording on Pauline Hanson's chief of staff James Ashby claiming to have struck a deal with Mr Nicholls' chief of staff for the two parties to rein in attacks on each other.

But Mr Nicholls took to Twitter after the program to label the claims as "absolute crap".
