The federal electorate of Hughes, located in southern Sydney, New South Wales, encompasses suburbs such as Heathcote, Engadine, and parts of Cronulla. Established in 1955, it has historically been considered a safe seat for the Liberal Party, reflecting its predominantly middle-class demographic and suburban character. The electorate features a mix of residential areas, bushland, and coastal regions, contributing to its appeal. Recent elections, however, have seen increased political volatility, with shifts in voter sentiment and challenges from independent and minor party candidates. Key issues for Hughes residents often include cost of living, infrastructure development, and environmental concerns.
