=== Networks === {{primary sources|section|date=October 2023}} The Australian Labor Party (ALP) includes a variety of networks and associations that connect members, advocate for issues, and contribute to the party's policy development. The national platform currently mandates or encourages state branches to formally establish these groups along with calling for generalised interest groups known as policy action caucuses.<ref>{{cite web|title=National Platform of the Australian Labor Party|url=https://cdn.australianlabor.com.au/documents/ALP_National_Platform.pdf|publisher=Australian Labor Party|access-date=16 March 2016|page=232|archive-date=22 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322193603/https://cdn.australianlabor.com.au/documents/ALP_National_Platform.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Examples of such groups include the Labor Environment Action Network,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lean.net.au/|title=Labor Environment Action Network|access-date=11 June 2015|archive-date=30 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530075629/http://www.lean.net.au/|url-status=live}}</ref> the [[LGBTQ wing]] Rainbow Labor,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rainbowlabor.org/pages/ |title=Rainbow Labor |access-date=16 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110923163414/http://www.rainbowlabor.org/pages/ |archive-date=23 September 2011 }}</ref><ref name="ANUPressChapter28">{{cite web |title=Chapter 28: [Insert Title Here] |url=https://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/n4149/pdf/ch28.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com |website=ANU Press |format=PDF |access-date=28 December 2024}}</ref> Labor For Choice, the [[women's wing]] Labor Women's Network,<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Labor Women's Network |url=https://www.facebook.com/NationalLaborWomensNetwork |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=Facebook |language=en |archive-date=12 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512151749/https://www.facebook.com/NationalLaborWomensNetwork |url-status=live }}</ref> Labor for Drug Law Reform<ref>{{Cite web |title=Labor for Drug Law Reform β NSW |url=https://www.facebook.com/L4DLR/ |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=Facebook |language=en |archive-date=8 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220608062722/https://www.facebook.com/L4DLR/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Labor for Refugees,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Labor for Refugees NSW/ACT |url=http://www.labor4refugees.com/ |access-date=2024-05-14 |language=en-AU}}</ref> Labor for Housing,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Labor for Housing |url=https://www.facebook.com/laborforhousing |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=Facebook |language=en |archive-date=13 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201113223255/https://www.facebook.com/laborforhousing/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Labor Teachers Network,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Labor Teachers |url=https://www.facebook.com/laborteachers/ |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=Facebook |language=en |archive-date=12 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512151752/https://www.facebook.com/laborteachers/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Aboriginal Labor Network,<ref>{{Cite web |title=NSW Aboriginal Labor Network |url=https://www.facebook.com/NSWNILN |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=Facebook |language=en |archive-date=12 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512152922/https://www.facebook.com/NSWNILN |url-status=live }}</ref> and recently, Labor Enabled β the action group for Disability Advocacy<ref>{{Cite web |title=NSW Labor Enabled |url=https://www.facebook.com/nswlaborenabled |access-date=2022-03-15 |website=Facebook |language=en |archive-date=12 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512151755/https://www.facebook.com/nswlaborenabled |url-status=live }}</ref> These groups operate under different names across states and territories and are categorized into '''equity groups''', which focus on representation based on identity or shared characteristics, and '''policy-focused groups''', which emphasize thematic advocacy. In Queensland, these networks are formally referred to as ''Equity Groups'' and ''Associations'', which are distinct entities.<ref name="QLDLaborRules">{{cite web |title=Queensland Labor Rules
