Life Under Labor

Abstract

With Labor governments in four states and in Canberra, one of the more distinctive features to emerge so far has been the difference in style and direction between the various state and federal policies and governments. While any definitive assessment is not possible, sufficient time has passed for some critical review of Labor 's responses to government and the economic crisis. In the following four articles, the characteristics of the governments in Canberra, Victoria and Western Australia are examined in an initial assessment of Labor ' s performance so far.
