Anthony Albanese and Richard Marles will be the new Labor leadership team after Victoria MP Clare O Neil chose not to run for vice president.
No other candidate has nominated. The applications will be closed on Monday.
Ms. O. Neil said she had discussed with her colleagues the possibility of running for the deputy, but she needed more experience to gather the party behind a leader.
"Richard Marles has the skills, qualities, and experience at this stage to be able to do this job very well," Ms. O'Neill told ABC Insiders on Sunday.
"Let's wait a few days, I'm sure when we get out of this situation, we'll see a Labor Party where women have their rightful place around the phantom work table."
Mr. Albanese is from the left faction, while Mr. Marles is from the right.
Labor has a man and a woman on the executive team since 2001, but Ms. O Neil said that the stars did not align this time for this to happen.
The entire front bench of Labor also faces an upheaval after the unexpected loss of federal elections.
Immigration spokeswoman Shayne Neumann is already on the defensive as information makes her think that he may have to stand in front of the spectator bench for Kristina Keneally.
The caucus and the prospective head will allocate the wallets, but Neumann was quick to remind people that he was in Parliament since Kevin Rudd came to power in 2007.
"I survived the carnage we had in Queensland," Blair's MP for ABC television said Saturday.
"We can not continue to give more than 20 seats to the NL in Queensland and think we will form the government nationwide."
He agrees with another Labor pillar, Joel Fitzgibbon, who urged Labor to reconnect with regional and rural Australia, while supporting phantom treasurer Chris Bowen on the need to better respect the beliefs and beliefs of people.
But the former Labor treasurer and now national party chairman, Wayne Swan, believes that "the failure of victory is not fatal".
"What we need is to have the courage to fight against the Trumpification of the Free and their alliance with the far right," he tweeted.
Mr. Swan retired from Lilley, his seat in Queensland, during the election, one of two seats that the Australian Electoral Commission deemed too close to the vote.
Albanese is confident but does not want to become a leader, and he promises to be tough on the government when parliament returns.
The Labor Caucus is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to confirm its leadership team, made up of the Deputy Leader and senior Senate officials.
