Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has seemingly ended speculation about her future, indicating she will run again in her safe WA seat of Curtin at the next federal poll.

Appearing at an event in Perth today, the former deputy Liberal leader said she had made the decision after receiving "overwhelming support" from her electorate.

"I think their interests come first," Ms Bishop said.

"It's very much a personal decision for me, but I believe the country needs stability and continuity at present."

The recent leadership turmoil that saw Malcolm Turnbull replaced as prime minister by Scott Morrison also ended Ms Bishop's 11 years as deputy Liberal leader and five years as foreign minister.

She resigned from cabinet last Sunday after it emerged no West Australian federal MPs voted for her in the Liberal leadership ballot.

There has been speculation that she would leave Parliament at the next election.

It had also been predicted that she may be appointed as the successor to departing Governor-General Peter Cosgrove.

Speaking in Indonesia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Ms Bishop had spoken to him about her future.

"We spoke about it after the change last week and I welcome it, I think great. I think it's fantastic to have Julie in our team and I look forward to continue to work with Julie, I think it's absolutely tremendous."

"What we've been able to achieve here these last couple of days was set up by the great work of Foreign Minister Bishop and Prime Minister Turnbull."

Bishop 'invaluable' to Liberals: political commentator

Veteran WA political commentator Peter Kennedy said many West Australian Liberals would be very relieved Ms Bishop was sticking around for what was likely to be an extraordinarily difficult election campaign.

"The fact that she has indicated that she will soldier on is a plus for the Liberals," Mr Kennedy said.

"It's important the Liberals have a good candidate in Curtin and she provides that, and she is also a proven fundraiser.

"And she is popular.

"For the Liberals to have her up in lights in the next election campaign in WA will be very important for them.

"Her campaigning in marginal seats will be invaluable for the Liberals."

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan said he was not surprised Ms Bishop had received the support of the electorate to run again.

"She has decided to fight on and that's her right," he said.

"Obviously she has decided to ignore the poor treatment she has received from her colleagues."

Ms Bishop won the seat of Curtin with more than 70 per cent of the two-party vote at the last federal poll.
