The most notable countrywide use of the -or ending is for one of the country's major political parties, the [[Australian Labor Party]], which was originally called "the Australian Labour Party" (name adopted in 1908), but was frequently referred to as both "Labour" and "Labor". The "Labor" spelling was adopted from 1912 onward due to the influence of the [[American labor movement]] and King O'Malley.
