  Australian Labor Party - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Party mythology says it was founded at a meeting of agricultural workers under a tree (the "Tree of Knowledge") in Barcaldine, Queensland, in 1891.
The party has historically been committed to socialist economic policies, but, while supporting national wage fixing and a strong welfare system, it did not nationalise private enterprise - an attempt to nationalise the banking system in the 1940s was ruled unconstitutional by the High Court of Australia.
Indeed, during the 1980s the party was responsible for the introduction of many economic policies such as privatisation of government enterprises, and deregulation of many previously tightly-controlled industries, which are normally the province of conservative governments.

 The Australian Labor Party
The Australian Labor Party entered federal politics at the first Commonwealth elections of 1901, when 16 Labor members were elected to the House of Representatives and eight to the Senate.
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 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.

 n o s e m u g g e r
The principle is that the parties who give preferences to the parties you prefer are more likely to have similar views and policies to the parties of which you approve.
Conversely, if a party approves of a party that you disapprove of, or disapproves of a party you approve of, they are less likely to be a party to which you want to give votes.
Express opinions on as many parties as you like, but remember, the idea of the system is to give you information on the parties on which you have no opinion, so giving an opinion on every party defeats the purpose.

 Print Article: The life of the party
One OF the great burdens of genius is that inspiration tends to strike at the most peculiar times.
Whitlam changed the Labor Party in the 1960s and early '70s from a counter-punching opposition that tried to pick holes in the government's strengths, to one that built its own policy framework from the grassroots up and forced the Federal Government to react to its agenda.
Perhaps that is something people in the present Labor Party leadership team should contemplate as they visit their fashionable, comfortable and sewered little rooms of inspiration.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard has taken great risks and much political heat for his support of America.
She said this of her country (and of the war that Australia is helping us with in Iraq): "[W]e are endangering the Australians now by this wanton disregard for international law and multilateral channels." Mark Latham could not have said it better.
She is, of course, merely echoing her brother, who, at a time when allies have shown great political courage in facing down both terrorists and domestic opposition for their assistance to the United States in Iraq, calls these allies the "coalition of the coerced and the bribed."

Still, it would be a most stimulating final, for here is a clash of cultures and styles, a bout between mighty forces and great players, a struggle between match-winners and spirited sods, and a recollection of the memorable series played in India a couple of years ago.
Whether or not Mr and Mrs Ponting will be praying for their offspring in deepest Mowbray cannot be said but the Australian captain might appreciate the thought because his team deserves a place in the final but knows there is many a slip between cup and lip.
Whereas the Australians seemed tense throughout the previous World Cup, this lot are enjoying themselves, approaches that reflect the temperaments of the two captains.

 WA Democrats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In 1977, Australians formed a new political party which was to be governed by direct participation of its membership.
As a result, loss of support signalled the death of the party whose electoral support was annihilated at the October 2004 general election, though four long-term senators may remain until 2007 (or a possible earlier double dissolution of the Australian Parliament).
Since those events, progressive Australian activists and voters have moved en masse to The Greens with the result that Senate seats lost by the Democrats are expected to gravitate to Greens during the next decade.
