The federal electorate of Corio, located in Victoria, encompasses the city of Geelong and surrounding areas, including parts of the Geelong suburbs, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast. Established in 1901, it is one of Australia's oldest electorates and has historically been a Labor stronghold, reflecting its working-class roots tied to industries such as manufacturing and shipping. Corio is known for its diverse communities, coastal landscapes, and economic significance as a regional hub. The electorate has been represented by prominent figures, including former Prime Minister John Curtin and long-serving MP Richard Marles, the current Deputy Prime Minister of Australia.
