Education Minister Jason Clare says Peter Dutton is making a "mockery" of his claim the Liberal party is for the working class by opposing Labor's $15 billion manufacturing fund.
Mr Clare refuted criticism from the coalition that the government's National Reconstruction Fund was too broad in its ministerial discretion, declaring their opposition as defying belief.
"We had Peter Dutton this week saying that the Liberal Party are the party of the working class, but now they're going to oppose legislation that's going to create more manufacturing jobs to help us to build more things here in Australia," he told Sky News on Sunday.
