Australia's centre-left Labor party won Saturday's federal election by a landslide, decimating the conservative Liberal-National Coalition while also gutting the left-leaning Greens. While the Greens got the highest vote in Melbourne, Bandt said the main reason for their loss was the preference votes for Liberal and the far-right One Nation party.

Greens leader Adam Bandt has officially conceded defeat in his long-held seat of Melbourne, clearing the way for the minor party to appoint a new federal captain.He is the second federal party leader to lose his seat at this election,

The former Opposition leader's comments come after outgoing Greens leader Adam Bandt conceded defeat in Melbourne and said an anti-Dutton vote was partly to blame for his loss.
