      ab: The writer contrasts and compares the labor law environment in the U.S. and Australia, two countries which are closely tied as products of Anglo-Saxon colonization.

He suggests that it must be a source of wonderment to Australians that the Democrats could win a sweeping victory in a national election in 2008 and fail to deliver on a key demand of its most important constituency—labor reform.
