Fed: Libs take early lead in Bradfield byelectiono

Liberals candidate PAUL FLETCHER has taken an early lead in counting in the by-election
for the federal seat of Bradfield in Sydney's north.

At 7.20 pm (AEDT) .. Mr FLETCHER had gained 2,212 votes .. or 57 per cent .. of the
primary vote .. with just over four per cent of the vote counted.

His nearest challenger is Greens candidate SUSIE GEMMELL .. who has 992 votes .. or
25.7 per cent of the primary vote.

At this early stage .. there is a 14 per cent swing to the Greens and a seven per cent
swing against the Liberals .. though these figures are distorted by the ALP not standing
a candidate.
