The Labor Right generally supports free-market policies and the US alliance and tends to be conservative on some social issues, whilst the Labor Left favours more state intervention in the economy, is generally less enthusiastic about the US alliance and is often more progressive on social issues. The national factions are themselves divided into sub-factions, primarily state-based such as Centre Unity in New South Wales and Labor Forum in Queensland.
The two main factions within the Labor movement are divided along ideological lines: the Labor Right leans towards free-market policies and a strong US alliance, while the Labor Left advocates for greater government intervention in the economy and a less prominent role for the US.  These factions also have sub-factions based on state boundaries, such as Centre Unity in New South Wales and Labor Forum in Queensland.
