Election Day Saturday May 3rd: Local Candidates Aiming for Canberra

The circulation area of the Hills to Hawkesbury Community News covers the Federal electorates of Mitchell and Macquarie and parts of Greenway and Berowra.

Currently Labor holds two of the seats (Macquarie and Greenway) and the Liberals two (Mitchell and Berowra).

Mitchell was retained by Liberal Alex Hawke in 2022 with 60.7 per cent of the vote after preferences were distributed. Redistribution since that election means Mitchell now takes in West Pennant Hills with Box Hill and Rouse Hill moving into Greenway.

Greenway was retained by Labor’s Michelle Rowland in the 2022 election with 57.9 per cent of the vote after distribution.

In the 2022 election Julian Leeser retained Berowra for Liberals with 57.6% vote after preferences were distributed on a two party preferred basis and Susan Templeman retained Macquarie for Labor with 56.3% of the vote after preferences.

The Greens have candidates in all four seats as does Pauline Hanson’s One Nation.

We will be listing all candidates for the four Federal seats (26 candidates in total) but will not be going into details about them. The sitting MP in each seat will be marked with a *

The candidates are listed in the order they will appear on the ballot paper for the House of Representatives.
