Labor has launched a blistering attack on the Opposition Leader, labelling him 'Demolition Dutton' as the party seeks to get a key piece of legislation through Parliament.
The Coalition this week formalised its opposition to the $15 billion fund that Labor is seeking to establish through legislation going before Parliament this week.
Labor has attacked Peter Dutton over the Coalition's opposition to the National Reconstruction Fund bill.

"It's a $15 billion fund and it's not wise expenditure. These off budget vehicles have been recommended against by the International Monetary Fund," Ms Ley said. "Now this fund, if they managed to rush it through, which they're trying to do, will immediately release $5 billion and then the remaining $10 billion will not require any parliamentary scrutiny."
