Kooyong

The federal electorate of Kooyong, located in the inner-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, is one of Australia's most affluent and historically significant electorates. Established in 1901, it has been a traditional stronghold for the Liberal Party, with notable former members including Sir Robert Menzies, Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister. Covering suburbs such as Kew, Hawthorn, and Balwyn, Kooyong is characterized by its high socio-economic status, well-regarded schools, and leafy residential streets. In recent years, the electorate has seen increasing political competition, particularly from independent and teal candidates, reflecting shifting voter priorities on issues such as climate change and integrity in politics. Kooyong remains a key battleground in federal elections.
