From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Hughes is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1955 and is named for Billy Hughes, who was Prime Minister of Australia 1915-23. It is located in the southern and southwestern suburbs of Sydney, including Liverpool, Moorebank, Como, Engadine, and Sutherland. Until 1996 it was generally a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party, but since then it had seemed to become increasingly secure for the Liberal Party. It is now however a marginal seat.
