Deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop has laid into the Labor opposition, saying "the once great movement" has been taken over by political narcissists.
"The very soul of the Labor Party has been hijacked by a group of backroom bovver boys with no sense of a moral compass and the leader of the pack is none other than Bill Shorten," she told the Liberal Party federal council in Melbourne.
"With exposes coming up at the royal commission of his conduct as a union official, I think that the next episode of that popular TV series should be 'Underbelly Labor'."
In her speech, the foreign minister said Australia had improved since Tony Abbott led the Liberal-National coalition to an election win in 2013 to replace "the disastrous and embarrassing" Rudd-Gillard-Rudd governments.
She said Australia had stepped up on the international and economy stages, and would continue to grow under the Abbott government.
