Prime Minister Tony Abbott has accused Labor of bringing back the "White Australia" policy.
Labor and the unions have criticised the China free trade agreement for allowing Chinese companies to bring in their own workforces for major projects.
"This is a racist lie ... the ghost of the White Australia policy will come back to haunt the Labor Party," Mr Abbott told parliament on Thursday.
