FORMER West Australian government minister Alannah MacTiernan says she'll decide in the next 48 hours whether to nominate as Labor's candidate for Stephen Smith's seat of Perth.
Ms MacTiernan, the Mayor of Vincent, said she would announce her intentions on Thursday when nominations close.
"Obviously, there's a process after that," she told AAP.
"There's not much I can add. I'm not going to engage in a commentary while making a decision."
Senior Labor sources expect Ms MacTiernan to nominate.
In 2010, she stood unsuccessfully for the seat of Canning, but lost to Liberal Don Randall.
As WA's Planning and Infrastructure Minister from 2001 to 2008, she championed the development of the Perth-to-Mandurah railway line, which proved a big success.
Ms MacTiernan hit national headlines in March when WA Labor was trounced at the state election and she called time on Julia Gillard, saying something radical needed to be done to improve the party's fortunes.
Barrister Tim Hammond on Monday announced he would not nominate for the federal seat being vacated by the Defence Minister, who is retiring at the election after holding Perth for 20 years.
Mr Hammond, who unsuccessfully contested the seat of Swan at the 2010 election, reportedly does not want to nominate because he and his wife have a 17-month-old daughter and want to have more children.
