The Labor Right, also known as Modern Labor or Labor Unity, is a political faction of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) at the national level that is characterised by being more economically liberal[6] or more socially conservative than the Labor Left.[7] The Labor Right is a broad alliance of various state factions and competes with the Labor Left faction.
