It was the press conference from hell.

Hilarious: OZschwitz Rudd's press conference from hell 1869252_300813m_kevinruddperth_1280x720-19210e4

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was addressing the media shortly after speaking at a union event.

About 15 people from different age groups stood behind him - presumably to reflect Labor's appeal to all Australians - at the Unions WA office in Perth on Friday.

But the room was hot and lacked air flow and sweat began to bead on Mr Rudd's forehead.

For most of the 45-minute press conference Mr Rudd was defending his claim the coalition's $31.6 billion worth of interim budget savings underestimated the impact of its policies by $10 billion.

"I can see no higher political fraud committed against the Australian people," Mr Rudd said.

He believes the coalition won't release its full costings until a day or two before the September 7 election, leaving it little time to respond.

Then a young girl, aged about 10, who had been standing for most of his remarks, collapsed.

She was given first aid, and once recovered, offered a seat.

One journalist also began to buckle under the heat and walked away as Mr Rudd spoke.

Mr Rudd, looking annoyed, reminded the reporter he was answering his question. The journalist said he was feeling unwell.

To make matters worse, a Labor staffer accidentally turned off the lights in the room, leading the prime minister to briefly pause the press conference.

If that wasn't enough, a radio microphone fell off the lectern Mr Rudd was using.

Mr Rudd had earlier announced a returned Labor government would appoint Australia's first Minister for Cities.

The new position would support his commitment to set up a taskforce to examine ways to boost jobs and economic growth in outer city suburbs and improve infrastructure and travel issues.

"The Labor government will ensure more of the jobs of the future are based in the suburbs of the future, improving the livability of our outer suburban regions," he said.

Earlier, Mr Rudd told union members Labor had a vision for Australia's future and described the opposition's plan for the government's national broadband network as "positively Paleolithic".

The coalition believes it can deliver the NBN earlier and for less money but taking optic fibre to the street corner, rather than all the way to premises.
Later, Mr Rudd inspected a road extension project in Rockingham with Labor minister Gary Gray, who holds the seat of Brand with a margin of three per cent.
