Only 'rubble' will be left: Albanese

A senior Labor figure says the Liberal battle over the prime ministership will leave the government in ruins.

Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese says whoever is prime minister by the end of the day will inherit "rubble".

Mr Albanese, who warned against previous Labor leadership spills, told the Nine Network the Australian public should be angry about the behaviour of Peter Dutton, who is seeking to topple Malcolm Turnbull for the Liberal leadership.

"If he is successful he will inherit rubble - that will be all that's left of the government," Mr Albanese said, adding that an election should be called.
