Farmer suffered a 10.43 percent swing against him at the 2007 federal election, in which the Howard Government lost to Kevin Rudd’s Labor Party. Farmer retained his seat with a margin of 0.7 percent, becoming the first opposition MP in the seat’s history. After the election he was appointed the Shadow Minister for Youth and Sport.
