Labor redraws the battle line Follow the money to see how well Labor thinks it's now going: Kevin Rudd's Labor Party is frantically redirecting campaign funding into seats it had long written off under former prime minister Julia Gillard. With Mr Rudd launching a national advertising campaign portraying himself as a leader seeking to rise above petty, negative politics on Sunday, the funds will be spent on opposition and ALP seats the party now sees as winnable. Under the new strategy Western Sydney seats and marginals in Victoria where Labor is clinging onto office are being targeted with extra field teams and funding. And in Queensland, six Coalition-held seats - Brisbane, Longman, Bowman, Dawson, Herbert and Forde - are being targeted. Defending what it has in Sydney and Victoria, trying to win what it doesn't in NSW. And with Oakeshott, Windsor and Slipper's seats all going to the Coalition anyway. Sounds like Labor thinks it will be close, but just short.
