US EditionAustralian Greens chief loses his own seat
- Adam Bandt, leader of the Australian Greens, conceded losing his seat of Melbourne in the 2025 federal election after 15 years.
- Bandt attributed his loss to a significant vote shift favoring the Labor Party, driven by voters aiming to prevent Peter Dutton from gaining power.
- The Labor Party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, secured a decisive victory in the federal election, capturing a minimum of 92 seats in Australia's 150-seat House of Representatives.
- Bandt noted some votes leaked away to Labor, citing the 'riptide from Liberal to Labor' and people wanting Dutton far from power, and he called victor Sarah Witty to congratulate her.
- The Greens suffered a severe reduction in lower house representation, retaining only the Brisbane seat of Ryan, while their Senate vote share of around 13 percent may still grant them balance of power there.
