Former prime minister Tony Abbott believes if the Turnbull government can get the Australian Building and Construction Commission legislation passed it would be the mark of a successful year.
The ABCC bill - one of the measures that was used to trigger a double dissolution election this year - is listed for debate in the Senate on Monday - the start of the final sitting week of the year.
"Obviously it would be an enormous boon to get this legislation passed this week because it would mean on balance it's been a successful year," Mr Abbott told Sky News on Sunday.
