FED:Early counting in Victoria

Early figures show Labor's behind .. in Prime Minister JULIA GILLARD'S home state of Victoria.

With 5.37 per cent of the vote counted .. there's a 2.38 per cent swing against Labor
on first preferences.

In the marginal regional seat of Corangamite .. the result's close with six per cent
of the vote counted .. Liberal candidate SARAH HENDERSON leading Labor MP DARREN CHEESEMAN.

In McEwen .. with 13.6 per cent of the vote counted .. Labor's ROB MITCHELL is just
ahead of the Liberals' CAMERON CAINE.

And the Greens' JIM REIHER leads in early counting in La Trobe .. the south-east Melbourne
mortgage-belt seat that's a must-hold for the coalition.
