  • The Progressive Labour Party (PLP) was a left-wing political partyinAustralia. In 2021, it merged into the Australian Progressives.

    History[edit]

    The party was founded by dissident former members of the Australian Labor Party and the original Communist Party of Australia in 1996.[1][2] The party claimed that the ALP has abandoned its traditional working-class supporters as it has moved towards the political right.[citation needed] The party ran Senate tickets in New South Wales and Western Australia and contested several House of Representatives seats at the 9 October 2004 election.

    The party regularly made submissions to Senate and other committees on a broad range of issues.[citation needed]

    Rod Noble, the national secretary of the Progressive Labour Party, described the Progressive Labor Party as a "broad alliance" of socialists.[1] Blogger Andy Fleming stated the group has "been largely eclipsed" since the formation of Socialist Alliance.[3] The party was de-registered by the Australian Electoral Commission in December 2006.[4] The party merged with the Australian Progressives in 2021, with the merged party being deregistered due to having insufficient members the following year.[5][6]
