The Federal Opposition leader has used his first budget reply speech to lay Australia's economic woes at the feet of the Federal Government.

Mr Dutton also accused the Government of walking away from a key election promise on power bills, and urged a debate on nuclear technology to help alleviate the energy crisis.
