Geography
Outer western Melbourne. Kororoit covers the suburbs of Burnside, Burnside Heights, Cairnlea, Caroline Springs, Deer Park, Derrimut, Kings Park and Ravenhall, and extends further west, stopping just short of Melton and including Rockbank. The seat covers south-western parts of the City of Brimbank and south-eastern parts of the City of Melton.
History
Kororoit was first created as an electoral district at the 2002 state election. The seat has been won by the ALP at every election since.
Kororoit was won in 2002 by Andre Haermeyer. He had previously won the newly-created marginal seat of Yan Yean in 1992. Haermeyer joined the Labor frontbench in 1996, and when Labor won government in 1999 he became Police Minister. He moved from Yan Yean to the much safer seat of Kororoit in 2002. Haermeyer moved to a new portfolio in 2005, and he moved to the backbench after the 2006 election.
Haermeyer resigned from Parliament in June 2008. The following by-election was won by Labor candidate Marlene Kairouz, and she was re-elected in 2010 and 2016.
Candidates
