The Progressive Labour Party (PLP) is a left-wing political party in Australia. 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 claims 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 makes 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]
