The federal electorate of Werriwa, located in southwestern Sydney, New South Wales, encompasses diverse suburban and semi-rural communities, including parts of Liverpool, Ingleburn, and Macquarie Fields. Established in 1901, it is one of Australia's original electorates and has a rich political history, having been represented by former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam for over two decades. Werriwa is a socio-economically diverse area, with a mix of residential, industrial, and commercial zones, and it faces ongoing challenges related to urban development, infrastructure, and social services. The electorate has traditionally been a Labor stronghold, reflecting its working-class roots, though demographic changes have introduced greater political competition in recent years.
