The federal electorate of Dunkley, located in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, is named after Louisa Dunkley, a prominent advocate for women's rights and equal pay. Established in 1984, the electorate encompasses suburbs such as Frankston, Seaford, and Carrum Downs, blending suburban residential areas with coastal communities along Port Phillip Bay. Dunkley is considered a marginal seat, often swinging between the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal Party, reflecting its diverse demographic of working-class families, retirees, and young professionals. Key issues in the electorate typically include healthcare, infrastructure, and cost-of-living pressures, with its coastal location also highlighting environmental concerns.
