The federal electorate of Aston, located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, is a predominantly residential area known for its diverse communities and socio-economic mix. Established in 1984, Aston includes suburbs such as Wantirna, Knockrow, and parts of Bayswater and Ferntree Gully. Traditionally a Liberal Party stronghold, it has been held by the party for much of its history, reflecting its conservative-leaning demographic. The electorate is characterized by a blend of family homes, parks, and shopping precincts, with a focus on education and community services. In 2023, Aston gained national attention when it became the first seat the Labor Party won in a by-election from the Opposition in over 100 years, marking a significant political shift.
