Watson is a safe Labor seat in the inner south-west of Sydney. It covers most of the Canterbury area as well as suburbs around Bankstown, Strathfield and Burwood. The seat has been dramatically redistributed, losing southern parts of Canterbury and parts of the St George area and gaining Burwood and Strathfield areas from the abolished seat of Lowe. The seat has been held by Agriculture Minister Tony Burke since 2004.
