A SYDNEY Labor MP has called on Prime Minister Julia Gillard to stand down and allow Kevin Rudd to lead the party.
John Murphy, who holds the inner-west electorate of Reid by a margin of 2.7 per cent, was mobbed on the campaign trail when he was joined by Mr Rudd at Five Dock Public School on Friday morning.
“I believe it is now in the interests of the Australian Labor Party for the prime minister to stand down and for Kevin Rudd to lead us to the next election,” Mr Murphy told The Weekend Australian.
“I have no doubt that Kevin Rudd will win the next election, not just save the furniture by limiting a big defeat.
“Julia Gillard has campaigned her heart out, but it is now five minutes to midnight and we have to act.
“I think my colleagues understand that voters are responding to Kevin.
“We have a duty to do what is best for the ALP, the people’s party, and stop Tony Abbott becoming prime minister.”
