	Australian Labor Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like other social democratic parties, Labor tends to believe that government is generally a positive force in the community and that it is the responsibility of governments to intervene in the operation of the economy (and society in general) to improve outcomes.
		Party mythology says the first Labour branch was founded at a meeting of striking pastoral workers under a tree (the "Tree of Knowledge") in Barcaldine, Queensland in 1891.
		Indeed, during the 1980s the party was responsible for the introduction of many economic policies such as privatisation of government enterprises (such as the Commonwealth Bank, which was itself established by an earlier Labor government), and deregulation of many previously tightly-controlled industries, which are normally the province of conservative governments.

	The Australian Labor Party
		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.
		The Party's political fortunes declined in the following years, plunging to a disastrous defeat in the 1966 election, which was dominated by the participation of Australian troops in the Vietnam War and Labor's opposition to the war.

	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.
		The landslide defeat of the ALP in 1996 was largely due to the discernment of the Hawke and Keating governments as economic rationalist regimes which pursued globally driven free market policies that undermined the interests of traditional Labor supporters.
		The establishment of an Australian defence force, the system of compulsory arbitration, the introduction of pensions and maternity benefits, and of course the Accord35 have all been ALP initiatives aimed at bettering the lives of, first and foremost, the working class.

	Definition of Australian Labor Party
		Until recently the national conference elected the party's National President, a largely honorary position, but since 2003 this position has been directly elected by the party's individual members.
		The Labor Party has always had a left wing and a right wing, but since the 1970s it has been organised into formal factions, to which many party members belong and pay an additional membership fee.
		They were expelled from the ALP and formed the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) whose intellectual leader was Bob Santamaria.

	The Australian Labor Party, the labour movement and racism
		The Victorian ALP has maybe 16,000 members, of whom perhaps 4000 are in these ethnic branches, which isn't a particularly high proportion when you consider the number of migrants in Victoria, particularly in Melbourne, where the overwhelming majority of all ALP members are concentrated.
		Intermarriage between Australians of different racial and cultural backgrounds is exploding in all social classes, and is fuelled in particular by the enormous cultural diversity in schools and universities.
		The ALP and the labour movement, for the last 50 years, have been significant initiators of the changes that have brought this new Australia about, which is sensible and initially reasonable compensation for the unfortunate racism of the labour movement's first 60 years.

		A party is in a bad way if it looks to Ann Widdecombe for charisma; but if charisma mattered, Labour would have won in 1983.

	Yorkshire CND - Australian Labour Party would oppose US missile plan - 8/5/01
		Australian involvement in missile defence was likely to be minimal unless it chose to become more deeply involved, Mr Beazley said.
		The ALP's foreign affairs spokesperson Laurie Brereton had earlier said in response to the Bush announcement of the missile defence program, that an incoming ALP government would review any involvement in missile defence via the joint facilities, and on March 1 the Senate carried a motion to that effect.
		Downer should be telling them with the utmost firmness that we do not want them to proceed with missile defence, and that instead the US should be going ahead with the deep cuts to warhead numbers and reductions in alert status that President Bush talked about in his election campaign.
