FED:Rudd suffers early swing against him

BRISBANE, Aug 21 AAP - Former prime minister Kevin Rudd is facing a swing against him
of over nine per cent, in early counting in his Brisbane seat of Griffith.

But his 44 per cent of the primary vote was greeted with spontaneous applause and 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.
