Quote:The ALP was originally called "the Australian Labour Party" (name adopted in 1908), but was frequently referred to as both "Labour" and "Labor". The "Labor" was adopted from 1912 onwards due to the influence of the American labor movement. (This is from the ALP website.)
Whoops...sorry Pad if I offend....Labor it is...(Damn you spell check!!

It does rankle with this voter (who was ready to swing to "Labor") that some group of invisible (to me) Unionists can dictate to me who my First Minister is or is not.... Yeah voting is a privilege and I take my vote seriously.
