Young Labor Left NSW also known as YLL is the unofficial youth wing of the NSW Left, the NSW branch of the national ALP Left faction.[1] It competes with the more economically liberal Labor Right faction in NSW Young Labor.[2]

History
[edit]Young Labor Left has been around as a loose factional grouping since the 1980s.[4]
By 1984, the now-influential group was split between the Soft and Hard Left — with the Hard Left having the backing of trade unions and future politicians such as Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek, while the Soft Left had the backing of a loose grouping of rank-and-file activists and politicians such as Peter Baldwin and John Faulkner. Future members of parliament from the Soft Left would include Laurie Ferguson, Paul Lynch, Anthony D'Adam, Cameron Murphy and Lynda Voltz.
As writes Andrew Leigh of the disputes during the mid-1980s:
"By 1984, bitter conflicts had erupted between the two groups in Young Labor Left. At this stage, control of the caucus see-sawed between the two groups. [...] Albanese was a key player by this stage, and was to become President (by a narrow margin) at that year’s annual conference. But in January 1986, a Young Labor Left caucus meeting was held to decide who would be the three delegates to the Central Steering Committee caucus. When the issue was forced to a ballot, the Soft Left took all three positions. The loss hardened Albanese’s resolve to defeat the Soft Left."
In 2013, a historic split occurred in the University of Sydney Labor Left caucus, which was at the time a branch of National Labor Students (NLS) — the peak student political faction of Labor Left. The breakaway faction, self-named Sydney Labor Students (SLS), named a list of grievances involving resentment involving resentment towards identity politics and perceived radical feminism — as well as perceived lack of activism.[5]
