The Australian Labor Party National Executive is an internal body of the Australian Labor Party, one of the major political parties in Australia. Twenty members of the National Executive are elected by the party's National Conference, which is the highest representative body of the party's state and territory branches. The most recent National Conference was the 47th conference held from 24 to 26 July 2015.〔ALP: (Welcome to the 47th Australian Labor Party National Conference )〕 Members on the Executive may be officials of trade unions affiliated to the party or members of federal or state Parliaments. Other members of the National Executive are the National President, the National Secretary and two National Vice-Presidents (who are directly elected by Labor members), and the Leader of the Federal Parliamentary Labor Party are ex-officio members of the Executive,〔(Australian Labor Party National Executive )〕 but only the party Leader has a vote. The National Executive is concerned mainly with organisational matters. It does not decide party policy, which is determined by the National Conference. The National Executive does not elect the party's parliamentary leaders, which is done by a ballot of both the Parliamentary Caucus and by the Labor Party's rank-and-file members. The National President or Vice-President are elected by party members. Its most public role is to act as the final arbiter of disputes about parliamentary candidacies (preselections). On these matters the National Executive usually votes on factional lines. The Labor Right faction holds a majority on the National Executive,〔''The Australian'', 2 July 2015: (Vote change to shift Labor’s power to the Left )〕 though it did not hold a majority at the 2015 National Conference.〔''Sydney Morning Herald'', 18 June 2015: (Labor powerbrokers lose control with reform back on the agenda )〕 The power of the National Executive extends to the reorganisation of a State Branch. For example, in 1970 to improve the party's chances of electoral success, the National Executive intervened in the Socialist Left controlled Victorian Branch, involving the sacking of State officers and dissolution of the Branch. Less drastic forms of intervention are more common, such as the final arbiter of preselection disputes.〔ABC News, 4 November 2015: (ALP national executive pulls rank on WA branch attempt to dump MPs Gary Gray and Alannah MacTiernan )〕 The executive has authority over policy as it can interpret the party’s constitution, platform and conference decisions.〔〔''The Age'', 27 July 2005: (Labor Left accuses Right of stacking branch rules )〕 ==Members of the National Executive== The current members of the National Executive are:〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Labor Party National Executive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
