Key independent MP Tony Windsor says he is more than likely to support the government's proposed minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) when the bill enters parliament next week.
The minority government needs the support of four crossbenchers for the MRRT bills to pass through the House of Representatives.
Mr Windsor has said previously his support would be based on some funding from the MRRT to be used for independent assessments of the environmental impacts from coal seam gas (CSG) mining.
"It (the MRRT) is more likely to have my support," Mr Windsor told ABC radio on Friday.

Editor's Note: Amazing how this man has gone from saying "NO" to "MAYBE" ... with a small mention to "some funding from MRRT to be used for independent assessments ..." Typical. SQUAWK!! SQUAWK!!
