Warringah lies on the North Shore of Sydney and covers Manly, Mosman and parts of North Sydney and Warringah council areas. The seat is held by Leader of the Opposition Tony Abbott. Abbott has held the seat since a 1994 by-election and served as a minister in the Howard government before the 2007 election. The seat is held by an 8.8% margin after a redistribution shifted the seat away from Lindfield and into Neutral Bay. Abbott has only been seriously challenged once, in 2001 by former independent state MP Peter Macdonald.
