Cabinet minister Peter Dutton has hit out at "largesse" at the ABC, criticising a decision to send a special crew to London for the royal wedding.

The minister said he couldn't understand why the taxpayer-funded broadcaster flew presenters Annabel Crabb and  to the UK for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials.

"Why they need to send people across when they've already got correspondents in the UK is beyond me. If you have a look at the largesse of their studios at the ABC, these bonuses they've just paid out, I'd love to know the criteria," Mr Dutton told 2GB radio on Thursday.
