FEDERAL Labor stands firmly behind the minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) but has promised to consult the sector before formulating future mining policy.
Party leader Bill Shorten insists Labor will oppose in the Senate coalition moves to repeal the MRRT.
"The principle of the resources-based rent tax is a good principle and one which Labor supports," Mr Shorten told Sky News on Wednesday from Perth.
The opposition leader is in Western Australia - where Labor's MRRT policy has proven widely unpopular - on the campaign trail ahead of the state's April 5 Senate election re-run.
"In terms of what we do in our policies affecting the resources sector for the next election, we will engage in a dialogue with the resources sector," Mr Shorten added.
Labor acknowledges there is more work to be done with the sector over coming years in the lead up to the 2016 federal election, a spokesman for Mr Shorten told AAP.
Labor and the Australian Greens have the numbers in the upper house to block the coalition's proposed repeal but from July a new-look Senate could approve the tax scrap.
