ALP - Australian Labor Party
The Australian Labor Party (ALP; sometimes simply Labor) is an Australian political party. It has been the governing party of Australia since the 2007 federal election. Julia Gillard is the party's federal parliamentary leader and Prime Minister of Australia. Labor currently governs in all states and territories except for Western Australia.
Founded in 1891 by the emerging labour movement in Australia, Labor is the country's oldest active political party, having contested and won state seats from 1891, federal seats following the Federation at the 1901 federal election, and gained Australia's first majority in either house at the 1910 federal election. The ALP predates both the British Labour Party and New Zealand Labour Party among others in both party formation and government. The party competes against the Liberal/National Coalition for political office at the federal and state (and sometimes local) level. Learn More
