Defeated **14** yes **21** no The question put That this house notes: (1) the resignation of the Honourable Tim Pallas, former Treasurer, as the member for Werribee; (2) the by-election is to be held in Werribee on 8 February 2025; (3) that Labor has taken Werribee and other western Melbourne seats for granted for too long, failing to provide adequate infrastructure given the massive population growth, including: (a) electrifying lines to Wyndham Vale, despite promising to do so; (b) neglecting Werribee’s bus network, which will suffer another blow after manufacturers were banned by Labor from ordering replacement diesel buses; (c) building adequate road infrastructure, forcing the growing local community to wait endlessly in traffic; (d) the Suburban Rail Loop West, which has no estimated construction and completion dates and is simply a cynical ploy by Labor to string along the long-suffering people of the west; and calls on the Labor government to finally prioritise the people of Werribee over Premier Jacinta Allan’s Suburban Rail Loop. ## How each party voted - Labor All no 0 yes · 14 no 14 members - No [Enver Erdogan](https://politics.computer/mp/enver-erdogan) - No [Gayle Tierney](https://politics.computer/mp/gayle-tierney) - No [Harriet Shing](https://politics.computer/mp/harriet-shing) - No [Ingrid Stitt](https://politics.computer/mp/ingrid-stitt) - No [Jacinta Ermacora](https://politics.computer/mp/jacinta-ermacora) - No [John Berger](https://politics.computer/mp/john-berger) - No [Lee Tarlamis](https://politics.computer/mp/lee-tarlamis) - No [Lizzie Blandthorn](https://politics.computer/mp/lizzie-blandthorn) - No [Michael Galea](https://politics.computer/mp/michael-galea) - No [Ryan Batchelor](https://politics.computer/mp/ryan-batchelor) - No [Shaun Leane](https://politics.computer/mp/shaun-leane) - No [Sheena Watt](https://politics.computer/mp/sheena-watt) - No [Sonja Terpstra](https://politics.computer/mp/sonja-terpstra) - No [Tom McIntosh](https://politics.computer/mp/tom-mcintosh) - Liberal All yes 10 yes · 0 no 10 members - Yes [Ann-Marie Hermans](https://politics.computer/mp/ann-marie-hermans) - Yes [Bev McArthur](https://politics.computer/mp/bev-mcarthur) - Yes [David Davis](https://politics.computer/mp/david-davis) - Yes [Evan Mulholland](https://politics.computer/mp/evan-mulholland) - Yes [Georgie Crozier](https://politics.computer/mp/georgie-crozier) - Yes [Joe McCracken](https://politics.computer/mp/joe-mccracken) - Yes [Nick McGowan](https://politics.computer/mp/nick-mcgowan) - Yes [Renee Heath](https://politics.computer/mp/renee-heath) - Yes [Trung Luu](https://politics.computer/mp/trung-luu) - Yes [Wendy Lovell](https://politics.computer/mp/wendy-lovell) - Greens All no 0 yes · 4 no 4 members - No [Aiv Puglielli](https://politics.computer/mp/aiv-puglielli) - No [Anasina Gray-Barberio](https://politics.computer/mp/anasina-gray-barberio) - No [Katherine Copsey](https://politics.computer/mp/katherine-copsey) - No [Sarah Mansfield](https://politics.computer/mp/sarah-mansfield) - Smaller parties and independents - No [David Ettershank](https://politics.computer/mp/david-ettershank) Legalise Cannabis - No [Rachel Payne](https://politics.computer/mp/rachel-payne) Legalise Cannabis - Yes [Gaelle Broad](https://politics.computer/mp/gaelle-broad) Nationals - Yes [Melina Bath](https://politics.computer/mp/melina-bath) Nationals - No [Georgie Purcell](https://politics.computer/mp/georgie-purcell) Animal Justice Party - Yes [Moira Deeming](https://politics.computer/mp/moira-deeming) Family First - Yes [Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell](https://politics.computer/mp/rikkie-lee-tyrrell) One Nation Members who didn't vote (absent, paired or in the chair) aren't listed.
