Resolves YES if Adam Bandt (leader of the Greens party) loses the seat of Melbourne after the May 3rd Australian federal election. Source AEC.
The race looks close. I’ll leave this open for a few days for the AEC to decide.

From Kevin Bonham
Projection: #Melbourne ALP gain from Green. Seat has been moved to expected win status. (I tend to avoid categorically "calling" seats outside Tas when there's a lot going on but I project Bandt at 47.6 in the live count which is not recoverable.)
Bandt had closed the gap earlier in the afternoon and Kevin Bonham even predicted he'd win by a whisker, but the latest results are going against him and Bonham now predicts he'll lose (the ABC always had him losing, but they've increased the gap too)

Whilst the ABC displayed a predicted loss, Antony Green had said earlier today that he expected Bandt to win. But I suspect after the latest numbers he'd probably agree with Kevin Bonham.

@GamblingGamer Deep green inner north got cut out and replaced with moderately red suburb. That plus the general labor swing makes it surprising but not impossible. Crazy that even the betting markets had him at like 250:1 to lose his seat.
