Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she will be the leader of the Australian Labor Party at the next federal election.
This was despite media reports of party members considering their leadership options following a tough week for the prime minster.
The High Court's decision on Wednesday to rule the government's proposed refugee swap deal with Malaysia as unlawful was another blow to the PM and the government.
"I will be leading the Labor party to the next election," she told reporters in Canberra on Saturday.
"Every day from now until then I will be fighting for the Labor values, for the things I believe in, for jobs, for education, for opportunities, that is what you will see me doing.
Treasurer Wayne Swan also dismissed speculation of the Labor Party switching leaders before the next election.
"Julia Gillard is tough as nails and she is going to lead the Labor party for a long period of time," Mr Swan said in Brisbane.
Recent polls have had the Labor Party's primary vote below 30 per cent for the first time.
And betting markets reflect the polls.
Betting agency Centrebet said odds have lengthened to $2.10 from $2.00 for Ms Gillard to lead the Labor Party at the next election to be held before late 2013.
Centrebet said the odds for any other candidate as ALP leader had shortened to $1.68 from $1.75.
