A decision on who forms government could be delayed with a squabble breaking out over parliamentary reform.

Labor and the coalition have previously indicated they would support changing parliament's rules, but today the opposition declared some of the reforms could strengthen the hand of future governments.

Rob Oakeshott wants both sides of politics to sign off on the reforms before he and fellow independents Tony Windsor and Bob Katter announce whether they'll back Prime Minister Julia Gillard or Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.

"The prime minister signed on behalf of Labor yesterday with Rob Oakeshott," Mr Albanese told the Nine Network on Sunday, adding that the coalition was now "dragging its feet".

"It would appear they've changed their views on some of the positions that have been put forward, such as the nature of the arrangements to ensure the independence of the speaker," Mr Albanese said.

A spokesman for Mr Oakeshott said Mr Pyne was looking to "tweak" the draft.
