Murphy returned to his previous career as a taxi driver following the 2015 election.[9]
Murphy has been the spokesperson of the Consumer Group for Fair Gas Prices since 2006, and regularly appeared in St. John's area media as a commentator on local gas prices.[10] Murphy distanced himself from the NDP after leaving office.[11]
