The Queensland Labor Party, officially known as the Australian Labor Party (State of Queensland)[11] and commonly referred to as Queensland Labor or simply Labor, is the branch of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) in the state of Queensland.[12] It has functioned in the state since the 1880s.[b] The Queensland branch of the Australian Labor Party was the first Labour Party to win government in the world, when, in December of 1899, following the resignation of the Dickson ministry, Queensland Labour leader Anderson Dawson accepted an offer by Lieutenant-Governor Samuel Griffith to form a government.[13]
History
[edit]Trade unionists in Queensland had begun attempting to secure parliamentary representation as early as the mid-1880s. William McNaughton Galloway, the president of the Seamen's Union, mounted an unsuccessful campaign as an independent in an 1886 by-election. A Workers' Political Reform Association was founded to nominate candidates for the 1888 election, at which the Brisbane Trades and Labor Council endorsed six candidates. Thomas Glassey won the seat of Bundamba at that election, becoming the first self-identified "labor" MP in Queensland. The Queensland Provincial Council of the Australian Labor Federation was formed in 1889 in an attempt to unite Labor campaign efforts. Tommy Ryan won the seat of Barcoo for the labour movement-run People's Parliamentary Association in 1892, and the Labor Party was formally established in Queensland following the first Labor-in-Politics Convention later that year.[14]
The Queensland branch subsequently formed the first Labor government in Australia, albeit briefly, when Anderson Dawson took office for a week in 1899 after a falling out between the non-Labor forces.[15]
Since 1989, when the party came back to power after thirty-two years in Opposition, all its leaders have become Premiers despite two spells in Opposition in 1996–98 and 2012–2015.
As of 2020, the Queensland branch has three factions: the right, headed by Annastacia Palaszczuk, the left, headed by Steven Miles, and the centralist faction, the Old Guard. Discounting Speaker Curtis Pitt, of the 47 Labor MPs, 24 belong to the Left, 16 to the Right, and 7 to the Old Guard.[16]
As of the 2020 state election, Queensland Labor's seat distribution was as follows:
| Region | Electorates | Labor seats | % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North & Far North Queensland (N/FNQ) | 10 | 7 | 70.00 | |
| South East Queensland (SEQ) | 63 | 38 | 60.32 | |
| Wide Bay–Burnett | 5 | 3 | 60.00 | |
| Central Queensland (CQ) | 7 | 3 | 42.86 | |
| Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday | 3 | 1 | 33.33 | |
| Darling Downs–South West | 5 | — | — | |
Membership and voter base
[edit] | Parts of this article (those related to category) need to be updated. (January 2024) |
Historically (1910s–1960s) Queensland Labor's voter base and membership has been distributed fairly equitably across the metropolitan, urban, and rural areas of the state, although maintaining a demographic majority within the South East region.[17] Beginning in the 1970s, Queensland Labor's voter base in particular has swayed more heavily toward the metropolitan and urban areas of the state such as Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast, and Townsville, with the Country (later National) and Liberal parties competing with Labor in both regions as an electoral bloc.[17]

Ideology
[edit]Historically, the Queensland Labor Party was rooted in socialist principles, advocating for state socialism[18][19][7] and agrarian socialism,[18][20] with the party being broadly left-wing. Prior to 1908, the party also had a radical liberal faction, which split to form the Kidstonites in 1908.[21] Over time, like other Labor/Labour parties, the party has shifted towards the centre-left of the political spectrum. The platform programme describes its founding principle as democratic socialism,[22] while observers describe the Queensland Labor Party as social democratic,[7] supporting labourism,[7] which prioritises the rights and conditions of workers, fair wages, and secure employment.
Local government
[edit]Labor contests Brisbane City Council elections, and has done so since the inaugural election in 1925. It has been in opposition to the LNP (and before that, the Liberal Party) since 2008. The last Labor member to serve as Lord Mayor of Brisbane was Tim Quinn, who was defeated in 2004.[23]
Historically, Labor also endorsed candidates outside of Brisbane, including in Ipswich, Townsville and Toowoomba.[24]
The current Labor leader on Brisbane City Council is Jared Cassidy, who has served in the position since September 2019.[25]
