Talk:Australian Labor Party (Non-Communist)

Non-Communist
Why did this group split from mainstream Labor? 203.33.3.2 (talk) 03:21, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably because Lang had been deposed as leader by William McKell. This lot were Lang loyalists and were especially outraged by the Industrial Labor Party's involvement in Lang's fall; they also claimed communist influence in the ALP. Or so I surmise - as you can see we've got only a few sources here. Frickeg (talk) 05:21, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

What with the Non Communist label anyway. The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 21:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Lang may have been from the left, but he was also staunchly anti-communist. I believe the label is an attempt to counter frequent criticism thrown at Lang Labor by both Labor and the Coalition that Lang's opposition to capitalism made him a communist. Frickeg (talk) 22:27, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
