The federal electorate of Barton, located in southern Sydney, New South Wales, is named after Sir Edmund Barton, Australia's first Prime Minister. It covers suburbs such as Rockdale, Kogarah, Brighton-Le-Sands, and parts of Bexley and Hurstville. Barton is a culturally diverse area, with a significant population of migrants, particularly from Chinese, Greek, and Middle Eastern backgrounds. The electorate is known for its mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zones, as well as its proximity to Botany Bay and the Sydney CBD. Politically, Barton is considered a marginal seat, often closely contested between the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal Party, reflecting its diverse demographic and socio-economic makeup.
