Voters have dealt a significant blow to the Greens, with the minor party on track to lose several MPs – potentially its party leader Adam Bandt – and fall short in other electorates that it had hoped to win from Labor, while several teal independents retained their seats with improved margins and others are on track to win seats previously held by the Coalition.
