There were two by-elections in 2001. The first was in Ryan (Qld) which Labor won with a 10% swing. 

Aston's swing, several months later, of only three and a half percent to the opposition was middling by by-election standards and signified the government's new-found competitiveness. Above swing is from the 1998 election result.

From there they went on to win the November election.
