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.
