Electoral district of Gembrook
- Electoral district of Gembrook
The Electoral district of Gembrook is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It is situated on the outskirts of Melbourne. Included within its boundaries are Cockatoo, Emerald, Gembrook, Narre Warren East, Warburton as well as parts of Belgrave and Berwick.
The electorate was created in 2002, replacing the abolished electorate of Pakenham, which had its namesake moved into Bass. It was widely considered to be a safe Liberal seat, and was to be contested by Shadow Treasurer Robert Dean, formerly the member for abolished Berwick. However, in a heavily-publicised gaffe, it was discovered during the campaign that Dean was ineligible to stand as a candidate due to his enrolment having lapsed. [ [http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/CIB/2002-03/03Cib13.htm Victorian Election 2002] ] He was quickly replaced with Neil Lucas, the MLC for the corresponding upper house seat of Eumemmerring Province. In an upset result widely attributed to the Dean affair, Lucas was defeated by Labor candidate Tammy Lobato. Lobato was narrowly re-elected at the 2006 election, and holds the seat by a margin of 0.72%.
