FEDERAL independent MP Bob Katter fears he and his supporters will be thrown in the slammer because he's a political threat to the major parties.

The MP's Katter's Australian Party is gaining traction with voters with some commentators predicting it might win several Senate seats at the September 14 election.

Asked if he expects a dirty campaign from the major parties, Mr Katter referred to the jailing of Pauline Hanson.

"My chief of staff had everybody in and said staff understand this ... we expect they will try to throw us in jail," he told ABC Radio on Thursday.

"Every time you fill out a form, anytime you do anything or say anything be aware we are in danger of going to jail."

JAILED: Bob Katter fears he could face jail like One Nation's Pauline Hanson.

Pauline Hanson was convicted of electoral fraud in 2003 and spent several months in jail before the conviction was overturned.
