Rudd suffers early swing against him
Former prime minister Kevin Rudd is facing a swing against him of over nine per

shouts of "he's won it" by about 50 supporters at the Easts Leagues Club in
Coorparoo.
With 15 per cent of the vote counted, Mr Rudd had a notional 62 per cent of the
two-party preferred vote.
Mr Rudd is expected to attend a Labor function later on Saturday night.
