Liberal leader Peter Dutton has accused Anthony Albanese and Bill Shorten of politicising the robodebt royal commission.
"I caution the glee of the prime minister and Bill Shorten at the moment. They've sought to politicise this issue from day one," he said. "Bill Shorten's politicisation of this process has been documented. He has been pulled up by the speaker on a number of occasions as he has gone close to the line or crossed the line," he said."He's seen political advantage in this situation, there's no question about that."He defended the actions of the former government in relation to the robodebt scheme despite it being created and continued over four and a half years during the Coalition's tenure.
