Labor
- (Australian) The Australian Labor Party.
[edit] Usage notes
While it is standard practice in Australian English to spell the word labour with a letter u, the Party has spelt it without since 1912, when Labor cabinet minister King O'Malley thought he would "modernise" the name. At the time, it seemed likely that Australia would move to American spellings.
