" and pass the governments construction watchdog legislation,
Any thoughts? "
Just a couple;
The Government already has two other bills it could use as double dissolution triggers — one is legislation that abolishes the Clean Energy Finance Corporation that the Greens strongly support.
But that has been a potential trigger for nearly two years and the Government has not used it.
Senator Di Natale said he did not believe the Government would proceed with plans to scrap the corporation.
"When it comes to the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, it is very clear from the Government's own words that they have no intention of going to a double dissolution with that as a trigger," he said.
"I think that would be a political mistake, a big one.
"It is a popular reform, one that invests in clean energy, one that makes a good return for the tax payer.
"So I am very, very confident that there is no chance that the clean energy finance corporation will be used as a trigger for a double dissolution."
That still leaves the Government able to have a double dissolution election with an industrial relations theme because the registered organisations bill has been rejected twice. But that has been sitting as an unused trigger since August last year.
