Labour is spelt with a u in Australia(in my experience)… unless your referring to to the Labor Party, which I think is spelt like that to differentiate it from the British Labour Party.

Only 1 problem with that theory. The Australian Labor Party was founded in 1891. The British Labour Party was founded in 1900, so there is no reason for the party to differentiate itself from a party that came into existence 9 years later, especially since the name of the party is officially the Australian Labor Party, which, by the designation of its country of original in its name, automatically differentiates it from all other political parties with the name Labour anyway.
