Abstract
- The article discusses the disillusion with the Australian Labour Party (ALP) and the emergence of the left-leaning Greens. The ALP campaign in 2007 exceeded the expectations of voters and raised hopes by labour activists for extensive reform. It also proved to be costly and unsustainable after the election. Various issues including climate change, the need for health, education and tax reforms and Australia's involvement in the war in Iraq have reportedly all contributed to ALP's failure, which in turn paved the way for the emergence of the Green Party.
