The Australian federal electorate of Dickson, located in southeastern Queensland, encompasses suburbs north of Brisbane, including Strathpine, Albany Creek, and parts of Lawnton. Established in 1992, it is a diverse and rapidly growing area, blending urban and semi-rural communities. Known as a politically marginal seat, Dickson has often been a bellwether electorate, reflecting broader national voting trends. It has been represented by prominent politicians, including former Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton, who has held the seat since 2001. Key issues in the electorate include infrastructure development, healthcare, and cost-of-living pressures, reflecting the needs of its expanding population.
