Reported at www.abc.net.au: New South Wales is a key battleground for the 2025 federal election, with approximately a dozen Labor-held seats at risk due to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis affecting outer-suburban households.

There are crucial races in marginal electorates such as Bennelong, Gilmore, and Werriwa, where swings could indicate significant shifts in voter sentiment.

Recent polling suggests that while Labor currently holds a slight edge, voter dissatisfaction with government performance could favour the Coalition in these closely contested areas.
