All Labor MPs and senators will gather in the nation's capital for the first time after the election to put an end to rumours of a leadership challenge.

Shorten will be endorsed as leader for the next three years (or until the result of the next federal election). No other leadership positions will be spilled. Tanya Plibersek will stay on as deputy, Penny Wong as leader of the opposition in the senate and Stephen Conroy as her deputy.
