Labor is demanding to know more about the unnamed investor, who may enable Family First senator Bob Day to reverse his decision to resign from parliament to take care of his collapsed building company.

Labor frontbencher Brendan O'Connor also wants the government to explain whether it has been talking to Senator Day, who supports the government on some key bills, to delay his resignation.

"This phantom investor to which he refers, nobody knows ... he has to explain whether indeed there is a real investor. That should be disclosed publicly," Mr O'Connor told Sky News on Sunday.
