. >> it is gorgeous, i'll send people to this tree, this is the brisbane box. we plant a lot of trees from australia and new england. brisbane box, they're well adapted, they have trees that will do well in our climate. a bigger chaltoning plant in many parts of the san francisco, the micro climate, we have windy area, really foggy areas and part of the reason we don't have native trees, is there weren't a lot of native trees in those climates. they're shrubry and branchry and they don't make good street trees. >> a good street tree is a tall tree that hasn't been topped or hacked back to get under wires. one reason this is lovely, is it is allowed to achieve its actual frm and a lot of times you see this lollipop trees or trees that are packed back to get under wires. on this particular street, we don't have overhead wires, we'll release them and they can definitely more naturally. >> this is a great street tree, it is a new tree, it is a hearty urban tree but it didn't have some of the problems of a ficas. it is more like a column at maturity, it gets good si

we'll check in with peter in brisbane. are they pretty much conceding there, peter? >> well, as you can imagine there's a pretty sad feeling of the loss here. i've been speaking to a few alp die hard supporters, who have refused to accept that a lose as big as this, that they are suggesting, suggesting that the swing will come back in their favour as the evening goes on. i think everyone understands that the election is over, the liberal party won, and i think a lot of blood will be spilt over the floor. >> it's not uncommon to see defeated candidates or leaders leave the position of leadership at the end, when they lose an election. kevin rudd has only been back as leader of the labor party for a few months. >> that's right. a lot of people recognise that one of the reasons they lost the election was because kevin rudd smashed back the leadership of the party, he lead the party three or four years ago, and he ceded the leadership to julia gillard, he came back and reclaimed it a few months ago to lead the party into this election. it's been a constant battle between

center in a part of brisbane where rudd is not the prime minister but the local member of parliament. safe territory for a final campaign rally, but for all the clapping and cheering, kevin rudd's prospects do not look good. they suggest nationally his party is well behind his opponents. his party looks unlikely to hang onto government. kevin rudd may lose his own seat in parliament. >> in this election we're engaged in a fight of our lives. it's a fight about the values which underpin australia's future. a fight about our vision for australia's future. it's a fight about how we go about building australia's future, a future for the many, not just for the few. >> reporter: how did it come to this? in 2007 kevin rudd's party was elected with overwhelming support. after a flurry of that, julia jill yard proved more unpopular still. he launched into a comeback tour promising he's changed from the man colleagues described as dysfunctional as prime minister. he toughened asiel lum seekers and reformed the carbon tax and said his opponents would wreck the economy with spending cuts. none o

let's go over to brisbane, and peter, who is at a very disappointed headquarters for the labour partyow are they taking the news? >> i have to say that. >> we'll start again. we missed the top of what you said. perhaps how disappointed the labour party are with this defeat with this election. >> what i was say something that the party over here at the party ahead years, the campaign headquarters everybody has left, and they've gone to lick their won. we were speaking to people earlier who were acknowledging this as a comprehensive defeat for them but it was not the political slaughter that a lot of people had predicted, certainly a lot of party members had feared. they consistently told us that they were pleased that most of the key leaders had managed to retain their seats, and that they had--they all felt that they were able to survive to fight on another direction in about three years time. >> of course, they've got a lot of soul searching to do with changes at the top, they will rae have to find a new leader to bring them all back together and somebody that the public has confiden

matt taylor is in brisbane. why has rudd done so poorly in the polls?it about personality, his policies or is much of it really down to rupert murdoch backing the opposition? >> well, it is probably a number of those factors, but i think the most important factor is the switching between leaders that occurred in the labor party over the last six years. remember, of course, kevin rudd defeated john howard back in 2007 and was, for a short period of time, australia's most popular prime minister ever. things, of course, then turned sour and he was replaced by jul jul jul julia gillard in 2010. he was returned to the top job when julia gillard was ousted a couple of months ago. the public had enough of what has been going on internally within the labor party, this changing between leaders and instability, along with the fact we had a hung parliament in australia for the last three years as well. the coalition on the other side, the conservative side of politics under tony abbott has presented a very united front since the end of 2009, a stable team with ver
