Malcolm Turnbull called a double dissolution election in May after failing to pass a bill to re-introduce the construction industry watchdog.

"When we go to election, the Australian people will decide whether there should be an Australian Building and Construction Commission," he said at the time.

"A double dissolution election is about giving the people their say."

A Factiva search of "ABCC" or "Building and Construction Commission" of news stories in the last three months found mentions of the bill peaked in the week starting 21 March.
