SYDNEY, Australia - Australia’s Labor Party swept into power at national elections on Saturday, propelling 50-year-old former diplomat Kevin Rudd into office on a wave of support for generational change.

The surge to Labor left conservative Prime Minister John Howard struggling to hold on to even his own parliamentary seat, which he has held since 1974, putting him in danger of becoming the first prime minister since 1929 to lose his constituency.

“We’ve all got goose bumps that finally we might have a leader who is passionate about fairness in this country,” Celeste Giese, 39, told Reuters at a football stadium in the northern city of Brisbane where Rudd was due to hold a victory party.
