Labor Party (Australia)

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) is a major political party in Australia that traditionally represents working-class interests and advocates for social justice, healthcare, education, and workers’ rights. Founded in 1891, it has a history of promoting policies aimed at reducing inequality and fostering inclusive economic growth. The party often aligns with progressive values, supporting public services and fair treatment for all Australians. It competes primarily with conservative parties like the Liberal Party, and its leadership has regularly formed governments at the federal and state levels, shaping national policy and governance.
