A TERRITORY Labor Senator says an election won't change the party's intention to build a controversial nuclear waste dump at Muckaty Station.

The Government would not alter course if it was re-elected, Senator Trish Crossin told the ABC.

"My preference has always been that we would - and we argued this, a number of us - that we would take this out for a national nomination process again," Ms Crossin said.

"That wasn't successful. What we've got is a party position legislation in the Government that proceeds with Muckaty Station."
