The Labor Right (LR), also known as Labor Forum, Labor Unity or simply Unity, is one of the two major political factions within the Australian Labor Party (ALP). It is nationally characterised by liberal economic policies, and competes with the Labor Left faction, which leans toward democratic socialism.[12]
Labor Right is composed of autonomous groups in each state and territory of Australia. The groups within the Labor Right come together as a broad alliance at the national level.[13] The faction includes members with a range of political perspectives, including centrism, partial privatisation, Keynesianism, Laborism, and social conservatism (as a minority).[14]
