Australian Greens leader Adam Bandt lost his parliamentary seat Thursday, as final counting from the recent general election concluded and voters showed the arch left-wing politician the door.
His party fared no better as the Greens have secured no seats so far, though one is still considered too close to call.
They had four seats in the previous parliament.
Bandt, 53, said he had called his Labor Party rival for the seat, Sarah Witty, to congratulate her and “wish her all the best”.
Leftist Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party won re-election in a landslide Saturday, with partial results putting it on course for at least 92 seats in the 150-member House of Representatives, as Breitbart News reported.

The Australian Greens will start the process of appointing a new leader in the aftermath of a federal election that delivered the highest vote in the party’s history but ended up with the ousting of its leader, Adam Bandt, and two other MPs in close contests with Labor.
In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Bandt conceded defeat in the seat of Melbourne, after 15 years as the federal member (he was the first Greens MP to be elected in the lower house) and five years as leader of the Greens.
In a cruel twist to an election that delivered an unexpected majority to the returning Albanese government, the Greens obtained their highest vote in Melbourne, but One Nation and Liberal preferences directed to the Labor candidate, Sarah Witty, gave that party the win.
