QUEENSLAND'S Attorney-General wants Labor's Jackie Trad booted off the Ethics Committee for failing to declare a conflict of interest.

Ms Trad didn't disclose on the floor of parliament that her husband is a partner in a company in the compensation industry when she voted on changes to WorkCover.

The South Brisbane MP fully disclosed all of her interests last year on her register, but was unaware she had to declare again during the vote.

She was yet to be elected when the rule was spelt out during the new members' induction.

"I was not advised at that time that there was also an obligation on me under the standing orders to disclose the interest at the time of the division," she told parliament.

"My omission was in no way deliberate or intentional and I apologise to the house."

The apology was not enough for Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie, who says Ms Trad had a direct financial interest in the bill.

He wants her to resign from the Ethics Committee immediately or the leader of the opposition should tap her on the shoulder.

"This is absolute hypocrisy," Mr Bleijie said.

"She judges other members of parliament, but doesn't understand the rules of the House."
