Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has not been requested to give evidence before the unions royal commission.
Mr Shorten was asked on Friday whether he had received a formal notice requiring him to give evidence before the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption.
"No ... (but) I will co-operate with the royal commission, no problems," he told ABC radio.
"This commission provides a platform for all sorts of people to settle old scores and make claims, sometimes with credibility and evidence and sometimes without.
"Of course I, and the Labor party, will co-operate but we understand this is Tony Abbott's royal commission into trade unions - and the Liberal Party, and others, will seek to take whatever political advantage they can."
