| summary | The text discusses the historical perception of Australia's Labor Party as the party of initiative or movement. This characterization dates back to WK Hancock's 1930 work, where he used "party of movement" to describe the early Labor Party accurately for its first century after formation. Although the Hawke-Keating government, in power during a period of neo-liberal counter-revolution dominance, reversed some Labor policies such as privatization and deregulation, they continued progressive initiatives like establishing Medicare permanently, extending superannuation to all workers, and reconciling with Indigenous Australians. |
