Anthony Albanese has denied his tour through Queensland's mining regions is at odds with Labor's commitment to tackle climate change.

The federal opposition leader is attempting to find a balance between winning back blue-collar voters in the state's mining regions and 
sticking with Labor's stance on climate change.
