Greens federal lower house MP Adam Bandt has emerged with a political headache from the redrawn Victorian boundaries, with his inner-north home soon to be part of Labor Leader Bill Shorten's seat.

Mr Bandt now faces the prospect of his consistent criticism of politicians who live outside their electorate coming back to haunt him, with a federal election possible before the end of the year.

Along with thousands of other residents in the Flemington area, the Greens MP for Melbourne will be transferred into the electorate of Maribyrnong after the next election following a decision by the Australian Electoral Commission.

The boundary re-alignment also delivers thousands of Greens voters into the Labor leader’s seat which, along with the gentrification of the inner-west and north-west, is expected to tip Maribyrnong from a safe Labor seat to a marginal one in the next few electoral cycles.
