Australian Labor Party

The Australian Labor Party or ALP is Australia's oldest political party. It is so-named because of its origins in and close links to the trade union movement. While standard practice in Australian English is to spell the word labour with an "-our" ending, in reference to the name of the party it is spelt with an "-or" ending.
