The Australian Labor Party is a centre-left political party in Australia.

The ALP is Australia's oldest political party. It is a social democratic party that is formally linked to the trade union movement.

The ALP was in opposition at the federal level from 1996 to November 2007, when it defeated the Liberal-National Party Coalition to form government. At the state and territory level Labor has been in government in all six states and both mainland territories since 2002. The ALP's current federal parliamentary leader is the Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd.
