Shorten commits Labor to China bank

A federal Labor government will sign up to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says the Abbott government has missed an opportunity to sign up to the Chinese-led bank.

"If Labor was in government, we would've got the details right and we would've signed up," he told the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday.

"When we are in government we will get the details right and we will sign up."
