Sky News host Chris Kenny has praised Opposition leader Peter Dutton for calling out the ABC’s “bias” during an interview on the public broadcaster’s 7.30 program.

Mr Dutton sat down with host Sarah Ferguson on Wednesday night to discuss Labor’s move to backflip on its key election promise of not amending the previously legislated tax package.

“Do you give credit actually, to the government for taking a big political risk in breaking a promise in order to help those families?” the 7.30 host asked.

“Well, Sarah, I don't think it's your job to push the position of the government,” the Opposition leader responded.

Ms Ferguson went on to defend her line of questioning.

“We pay for these people to be objective and of course, there is nothing wrong with probing and even provoking politicians in their interviews, but the point is it only ever goes one way at the ABC,” Mr Kenny said.
