Bracks had held the seat since 1994, and had been leader of the state Labor Party since 1999, serving as Premier from 1999 to 2007. Williamstown is generally considered a safe seat for the ALP, and Bracks' predecessor in the seat, Joan Kirner, was also a former Premier. With the resignation of Premier Steve Bracks on 30 July 2007, a by-election was required. On 4 August 2007 Janet Rice was confirmed to be the candidate for The Greens; the previous day (3 August 2007) the Liberal Party had confirmed that they would not run a candidate.Cr Rice will run for seat https://starcommunity.com.au/star/25-04-2008/cr-rice-will-run-for-seat/ Star Community 27 November 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20241127232532/https://starcommunity.com.au/star/25-04-2008/cr-rice-will-run-for-seat/ 27 November 2024 6 August 2007 This left Janet Rice as the person most likely to displace an ALP candidate, although she would need to greatly improve upon the vote that the Greens received in the 2006 state election.
