== State branches == Factional power usually finds expression in the percentage vote of aligned delegates at party conferences. The power of the Labor Right varies from state to state, but it usually relies on certain trade unions, such as the [[Australian Workers' Union]] (AWU), [[Transport Workers Union of Australia|Transport Workers Union]] (TWU), the [[Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association]] (SDA), [[Plumbing Trades Employees Union|Plumbing and Pipe Trades Employees Union]] (PPTEU) and the [[Health Services Union]] (HSU). These unions send delegates to the conferences, with delegates usually coming from the membership, the administration of the union or local branches covered by their activists. State-based factions (national sub-factions) which make up Labor Right include: ===New South Wales=== * Centre Unity<ref name="nswcu">{{cite web |title=NSW CENTRE UNITY |url=https://www.centreunity.org.au/ |website=centreunity.org.au |access-date=30 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240906200815/https://www.centreunity.org.au/ |archive-date=6 September 2024}}</ref> ===Queensland=== * Labor Forum (dominated by the AWU)<ref>{{cite web |last1=McKenna |first1=Michael |title=Left takes over Queensland Labor in historic shift |url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/state-politics/left-takes-over-queensland-labor-in-historic-shift/news-story/2416368889d7a258967a957d4bab051b |publisher=The Australian |access-date=30 October 2024 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20241030002011/https://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/state-politics/left-takes-over-queensland-labor-in-historic-shift/news-story/2416368889d7a258967a957d4bab051b?amp&nk=f2fc89badcfab3cb1e988c30d54ec684-1730247621 |archive-date=30 October 2024 |date=31 July 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=About Us |url=https://www.laborforum.org.au/ |website=laborforum.org.au |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190124044857/https://www.laborforum.org.au/ |access-date=24 January 2019|archive-date=24 January 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Labor Forum is a growing group of ALP members across QLD who believes that a progressive & practical policy agenda is crucial to the future of QLD Labor |url=https://www.facebook.com/LaborForum/ |website=Facebook |publisher=Labor Forum |access-date=30 October 2024 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20241030002351/https://www.facebook.com/LaborForum/ |archive-date=30 October 2024}}</ref> ===Australian Capital Territory=== * Centre Coalition<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.crikey.com.au/2010/04/09/contest-in-act-comes-down-to-the-alp-machine-versus-genuine-locals/|title=Contest in ACT comes down to the ALP machine versus genuine locals|date=9 April 2010|website=Crikey}}</ref> ===Victoria=== * Labor Centre Unity (AWU: Consisting of Branch Members, Student Clubs, both federal and state members of parliament aligned with the Victorian branch of the Australian Workers' Union, and representatives from the Plumbing and Pipe Trades Employees Union)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Young Labor Centre Action |website=[[Facebook]] |url=https://www.facebook.com/YoungLaborCentreAction}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=La Trobe ALP Club |website=[[Facebook]] |url=https://www.facebook.com/LaTrobeUniversityLabor }}</ref> * Labor Progressive Unity (The Cons: Consisting largely of Branch Members aligned to and supporters of Labor Deputy Leader Richard Marles and the Transport Workers Union) * Labor Unity (The Shoppies: Consisting largely of branch members aligned to and supports of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association) ===Western Australia=== *WA Labor Unity ([[Australian Workers' Union|AWU]], [[Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association|SDA]], [[Australian Workers' Union|TWU]]). *Progressive Labor (Consists of [[Australian Workers' Union|AWU]], [[Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association|SDA]], [[Transport Workers Union of Australia|TWU]] and [[Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union|CFMEU]])<ref>{{cite web |last1=Butterly |first1=Nick |last2=Delalande |first2=Joanna |title=WA Labor's Progressive faction fractures |url=https://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-west-australian/20190828/281612422065920 |access-date=20 October 2019 |website=PressReader}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-04-01 |title=Historic union pact formed to take on the Left |url=https://thewest.com.au/politics/state-politics/wa-unions-join-forces-to-take-on-the-left-ng-b88432030z |access-date=2019-05-26 |website=The West Australian |language=en}}</ref> An alliance between WA Labor Unity and the 'Industrial left' unions of WA, formed in 2019 for the purpose of binding at State conferences against some subgroups within WA's [[Labor Left#Labor Left factions from all jurisdictions|Broad left]]; such as the [[United Workers Union|UWU]].
