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.

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.
