Status: Fairly safe Labor

Werribee was created in 1976. It was renamed Tarneit in 2002 but reverted to Werribee in 2014. It elected a Liberal in 1976, but since then has always been a fairly safe Labor seat. Recent members (all Labor): Dr Ken Coghill 1979-96, Mary Douglas (later Gillett) 1996-2006, Tim Pallas 2014-25 (he sat for Tarneit 2006-14), and John Lister since the 2025 by-election. Pallas, who was Treasurer in the Andrews government, was thought to be in danger at the 2022 election, but in fact gained a swing to Labor. But Labor very nearly lost the by-election which followed Pallas's resignation.
