Greens Leader concedes defeat in seat of Melbourne

Published
Greens Leader Adam Bandt has conceded defeat in the seat of Melbourne, becoming the third Greens MP to be turfed out at this election. Despite finishing first on the primary vote, Bandt sustained a two-candidate preferred swing against him - Labor's Sarah Witty winning back the electorate, some 15 years after the Greens won it. The future of two prominent Labor ministers is also under question, as newly-elected ministers gathered in Canberra for the first time.
