The bill to repeal the mining tax has passed in the Lower House of Federal Parliament, with the Labor Opposition accusing the Government of "kicking" ordinary Australians.

The Greens are also opposed to dumping the tax, making it likely that the legislation will be blocked until the Senate changeover next July.

Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane says the Opposition should be "responsible" and allow the laws through the Senate.

"It is at their own peril that the Labor Party ignores the wishes of Australian voters and snubs their noses at good economic management for no other reason than to be obstructionist," he said.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott introduced the legislation to abolish the Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) at the opening of the 44th Parliament last week.

The Coalition Government says abolishing the MRRT will save the budget $13 billion by axing other measures it says it was meant to fund, including Labor's Schoolkids Bonus and the small business instant asset write-off.

However, Labor's Treasury spokesman Chris Bowen accused the Government of "kicking" ordinary Australians.

"This is very concerning legislation indeed," he said.

"We have a fundamental view in the Labor Party that the minerals of Australia belong to all Australians and there's an obligation on Government to ensure that wealth is spread right through Australia from the mining boom.

"And there's an obligation to ensure support for Australian families, support for Australian small businesses, which this Government is kicking with this legislation."

Clive Palmer, head of the Palmer United Party, says that he will abstain from voting on the Coalition's bills to repeal both carbon and mining taxes, to prevent a perception he is doing the wrong thing.

Under the draft laws, the repeal would come into effect next July, the same time the new Senate would begin sitting.

But Mr Macfarlane is pushing for the current Senate to back down.

"We won't concede that point until the Senate actually votes for or rejects the repealing of this legislation - and we will give them that opportunity," he said.

The MRRT came into effect in July last year, collecting 22.5 per cent on the profits of iron ore and coal producers - which has so far come to billions of dollars less than first estimated.

The MRRT was the result of a compromise between the then-Gillard government and miners - who fought the introduction of its precursor, Kevin Rudd's Resource Super Profits Tax.
