Tom Burns won the seat in 1972. He served as Labor leader following the disastrous 1974 election, and led the party to an improved result in 1977, before stepping down as leader in 1978.
He was elected as Deputy Leader in 1984 and became Deputy Premier when the ALP won power in 1989. He retired as Deputy Premier and Member for Lytton in 1996.
The 1996 Lytton by-election was won by Paul Lucas. Lucas joined the ministry in 2004. In 2007 he became Deputy Premier.
In September 2011 he retired as Deputy Premier while continuing as Attorney-General, and then retired at the 2012 election.
In 2012, Labor candidate Daniel Cheverton lost to LNP candidate Neil Symes after a 13.8% swing. Symes lost in 2015 to Labor’s Joan Pease. Pease was re-elected in 2017.
