The Victorian government's upper house replacement for late Labor MP Jane Garrett has been appointed after her death from cancer last month.
In a joint sitting of state parliament on Wednesday night, Labor operative Tom McIntosh was confirmed as the party's pick to fill the casual vacancy left by Ms Garrett.
Mr McIntosh, who has worked as an electrician and staffer to federal Labor MP Ged Kearney, will represent the Eastern Victoria region for at least the next three months until facing the polls in November.
