	The Australian Labor Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In its shortened form the Party was frequently referred to as both 'Labor' and 'Labour', however the former spelling was adopted from 1912 onwards, due to the influence of the American labor movement.
		The ALP was the world's first successful Labor Party by an overwhelming margin; by 1915 it had formed three governments in the Federal Parliament and had governed in all States, although only very briefly in Victoria.
		Labor was badly beaten in the subsequent elections of 1975 and 1977.

	Behind the "refashioning" of the Australian Labor Party
		Even though a Labor victory in last November’s election was widely considered to be a foregone conclusion, with the Liberal-National party coalition torn by internal divisions and having suffered a string of resounding defeats in a number of state elections, the ALP’s primary vote plunged to 37.8 percent, its lowest since 1906.
		ALP frontbencher Carmen Lawrence laments, in her submission to the panel, that members “interested in debate about ideology and policy become frustrated and leave” and, moreover, in “some cases are never even allowed to join because they represent a threat to the factional establishment”—referring to the factions that control the party.
		Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) national secretary Doug Cameron admitted, in his submission to the internal party review panel, that “working people are looking for a party that boldly and unashamedly speaks for them.” He went on to add: “The Labor Party is not that party”.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Ideology of the Australian Labor Party
		The Australian Labor Party seems to be fraught with division, and each faction or fraction has its own ideas on the nature of the Labor tradition.
		Laborism is the broad commitment to protect the most vulnerable members of the working class; safeguard the position of workers; ensure a fair day's wage; and paid employment as the primary guarantor of human welfare.
		What stands out is the Labor Party's capacity for change and renewal in a world of immense change, throughout a century of unprecedented change; and yet, at the same time, the consistency with which it has held to the fundamental principle: the pursuit of its program through parliamentary democracy.

	DSP Program - The Australian Labor Party
		In addition, the Labor Party's relative independence of any particular section of the capitalist class made it an ideal vehicle for reforms that were in the interests of capitalism as a whole.
		The first long-term Labor government came to office in 1910, at a time when the other capitalist parties, which were more directly tied to sectional interests within the capitalist class, were stumbling over the task of forging a single nation-state out of the six former British colonies that had federated in 1901.
		The ALP's commitment to the defence of the interests of capital as a whole (the so-called national interest), and its political hegemony over the organised workers' movement, have led the dominant sections of the capitalist class to entrust it with government during Australian capitalism's most serious economic and military crises this century.

	Australian Labor Party (NSW): Party History
		The Federal Labor Government was destroyed and Hughes and 23 ALP politicians left the Labor Party and joined with the Opposition to form a Nationalist Government.
		From the mid 1920's the Labor Party was regularly embroiled in internal disputes.
		The new Labor Members were young (six were in their twenties) and about half held office in the union movement, one was a doctor and at least seven were lay preachers or temperance advocates.

	A history of the Australian Labor Party
		On November 28 the executive passed a motion for the establishment of the Labor Electoral Leagues, and the TLC parliamentary committee was delegated to investigate the establishment of branches in all electorates.
		The political demoralisation of the ALP was concretised in the victory of the Nationalist coalition in the 1917 elections.
		Labor's return to power was aided by the government's "pledge to defeat the class struggle" and the ruthless attempts to defeat the seamen's strike in 1925 by deporting leaders of their union, Tom Walsh and Jacob Johnston.

	Marxism message, Australian Labor Party
		The conference agreed to the biggest structural change in the ALP since the federal conferences of the early 1970s, at which the party's structure was standardised nationally.
		At the crucial 800-delegate NSW ALP annual conference, the heartland of the ALP right faction, rejection of mandatory detention went through unanimously on the voices, mainly because it was moved by Labor Council secretary John Robertson.
		The failure to Blairise the ALP structurally is a defeat for the Blairite "modernisers" and for the half-dozen mini-Blairite parliamentary Bonapartes, hawking their leadership wares in the wings of the ALP, to the Australian media and bourgeoisie, with their little field marshalls' batons in their knapsacks.

	Australian News Commentary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In a monumental act of hypocrisy, the WA Labor government is ramming through parliament its infamous one-vote one-value legislation, purportedly to give effect to improved democracy, but in reality to entrench its position and to buy the votes of the minor parties in the upper house.
		The Labor party has been chanting its one-vote one-value mantra for years and yet is one of Australia's most undemocratic institutions.
		The Labor party also seems quite happy to be the beneficiary of an unequal voting system in relation to the Senate.

		Australian ISPs would have to filter out all pornographic websites if the Australian Labor Party is returned to power, according to a proposal floated by the main opposition party in that country.
		Currently, all Australian ISPs are required to offer filtering software to their customers at a reduced price, but the Labor Party believes that the lack of computer literacy on the part of some parents limits the effectiveness of such solutions.
		Labor promises to "work with industry" to keep those costs from being passed on to subscribers and ensure that the costs are "shared fairly" between large and small ISPs.

	(Lack of) leadership and the future for the Australian Labor Party - On Line Opinion - 1/5/2003
		The current status of the Federal Labor Party might best be summed up by the phrase "an arse full of splinters from sitting on the fence, and haemorrhaging to the Greens".
		Beasley is a remnant of Labor's lost past, and calls for his reinstatement are symptomatic of a dearth of individuals within the parliament who posess the quality to inspire either a public fascination or party-room magnetism.
		Labor with Simon Crean at the helm squandered the opportunity to distinguish itself on the issue of the war in Iraq, unable to mobilise the imagination of human spirit.

	Roger Clarke, Lenin and the Australian Labor Party
		The Australian Labor Party is a democratic socialist party and has the objective of the democratic socialisation of industry, production, distribution and exchange, to the extent necessary [sic!] to eliminate exploitation and other anti-social features in these fields
		The ALP now inconsistently combines the profession of hopes for socialism in the future with the practice of class collaboration in the present.
		Jim, quite rightly, attempts to explain the pro-capitalist stance of the ALP, not by the undeveloped nature of Australian capitalism, but by influences that have affected all the social democratic parties of the developed capitalist countries.

	Catholics and the Australian Labor Party
		The almost complete secularisation of the non-Catholic section of the Australian working class, commenced quite decisively in convict times, and the later development of the labour movement, is very much the story of the alliance between the Irish Catholic section of the proletariat, and the irreligious bulk of the working class.
		The formation and development of the Labor Party in all the Australian colonies was the culmination of the practical alliance that had been developing since the convict era between the secularised non-Catholic proletariat and small farmers, and the Irish Catholic tribe.
		The number of Catholics representing Labor in Parliament, which was minuscule initially, rapidly increased, particularly from the time of the election of the first Labor Government in NSW in 1910.
