FORMER Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd concludes a 15-year career in politics when parliament rises at the end of Thursday.
Mr Rudd hasn't indicated how he will spend in his final day as an MP.
In a surprise move on Wednesday night, he announced the time had come to quit politics.
He choked back tears and stopped to compose himself several times as he spoke of the heavy toll of politics on his family.
"I will not be continuing as a member of parliament beyond this week," he said.
Mr Rudd was elected at the member for the Brisbane seat of Griffith in 1998, became opposition leader in 2006, prime minister at the 2007 election, was rolled by Julia Gillard in 2010 then resurrected for the election earlier this year.
He hasn't yet revealed plans for his life post-politics.
