Immigration Minister Peter Dutton demands Labor backs changes
Minister Dutton has called on Opposition leader Bill Shorten to 'show leadership'.
Speaking on , Dutton said, “We want to be able to test whether or not people have been adhere to Australian laws and values and we have been very clear about that.
"That's why Mr Shorten needs to show the leadership that I thought he demonstrated on the day we made this announcement, when he said he would support these changes, at least in principle.
"But it's certainly unraveled for him and the left is out there trying to run this counter argument."
