Australian Labor Party (New South Wales)
In 1931 Lang had the support of the state party when he repudiated the Premiers' Plan for the economic management of the Great Depression and imposed a moratorium on the New South Wales government's overseas loans. This led to a split between the state and federal labor movements and Lang's first break-away party, the Australian Labor Party (NSW), became the dominant Labor force in New South Wales from 1931 to 1936, when unity was again achieved.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pull out a Monte Cristo at a dinner party and the political liberal turns into the nicotine fascist.”
—Martyn Harris (b. 1952)
“The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
