The Australian Labor Party ( also ALP and Labor, was Labour before 1912 ) is a social-democratic political party in Australia.

An important piece of evidence during the trial – a letter about HCE written by his wife ALP – is called for so that it can be examined in closer detail.

ALP is said to have written a letter declaring herself tired of her mate.

Herring argues that " he effect of ALP's letter is precisely the opposite of her intent [...] the more ALP defends her husband in her letter, the more scandal attaches to him.

Patrick McCarthy describes HCE's wife ALP as " the river-woman whose presence is implied in the " riverrun " with which Finnegans Wake opens and whose monologue closes the book.

The ALP government currently holds 31 seats in the Senate, eight short of a majority, with the Greens on nine seats, a sole balance of power position, therefore, like Kavanagh, Madigan's vote is unlikely to be a decider in a senate division because the Green bloc paired with either Labor or the coalition is enough to win a division in the current 2011 – 14 Senate composition.

In the final two chapters of Book I we learn more about the letter's writer Shem the Penman ( I. 7 ) and its original author, his mother ALP ( I. 8 ).

The book treats, in an unorthodox fashion, the Earwicker family, composed of the father HCE, the mother ALP, and their three children Shem the Penman, Shaun the Postman, and Issy.

Holt responded rashly, questioning the impartiality of the ABC and implying political bias on the part of journalist Mike Willesee ( whose father Don Willesee was an ALP Senator and future Whitlam government minister ) and his statement drew strong protests from both Willesee and the Australian Journalists ' Association.
