Bill Shorten has accused Peter Dutton of not being ready to govern and failing to admit mistakes, after the opposition leader appeared to back away from an earlier promise to cut net overseas migration.
The government services minister accused the opposition leader of “stubbornness” and not having done his “homework” on two different measures of migration. Dutton’s office has denied dumping the commitment.
