INDEPENDENT MPs Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor have both warned they would help force an early election if Labor replaced Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.
Mr Windsor said his agreement was with Ms Gillard and was “not transferable”.
“A change of leaders would be a high-risk strategy that would open up the option of an early election,” Mr Windsor said.
Mr Oakeshott said he was tired of Labor bickering about leadership and not focusing on policy such as education funding, asylum seekers, food, soil and water, jobs and tax reform.
“I continue to focus on the very full policy agenda before the Australian Parliament right now,” he said.
“But if the Labor Party is more interested in focusing on the next election, then I will do what I can to oblige them with that next election.”
Their support for Ms Gillard comes amid a new round of chatter about the Labor leadership.
Mr Windsor said “all bets would be off if there was a change of leader”.
He said the formation of Government occurs on the floor of the Parliament and not in written agreements but signalled he would favour an election if Labor dumped Ms Gillard.
The PM tonight is hosting a dinner at the Lodge for 10-12 top union leaders where it is expected she will assess their support for her.
Union leaders have denied recent reports that they are no longer supporting her.
The Transport Workers Union boss Tony Sheldon has said he would withhold $200,000 in political donations to Labor if Ms Gillard was dumped.
Ms Gillard recently had a dinner at Kirribilli House with business leaders and had a similar dinner with union leaders in November last year.
The dinner is expected to formally discuss issues such as industry policy, manufacturing, the high dollar, jobs and the recent sackings at Ford.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said the TWU donation threat showed faceless men will still trying to run the ALP.
“I think this is part of the Labor Party’s problem. It looks to be the play thing of the faceless men,” he said in New York.
“Now, Tony Sheldon is all very well as a union leader but the general public think that they should be choosing the Prime Minister, not subcontracting the job out to faceless men and when union leaders start making these kinds of threats I think it worries people. They think that the Labor Party is the play thing of unelected union officials not the servant of the Australian people.”
