        @SamJermy @NichStarling No, we use proper (i.e British spelling). The ALP decided to call itself "Labor" 100 yrs ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party#Name_changes …

        @FrankReinthaler @NichStarling Peculiar why the BBC would spell it the other way.

        @SamJermy @NichStarling As in the link I sent, they call themselves the Australian Labor Party. But the word itself in Aus is spelt "labour"
