Political party in Victoria
The Blackburn-Mutton Labor Party (BMLP ), also known as the Blackburn and Mutton Labor Party , Blackburn-Mutton Group and alternatively spelt Labour , was an Australian political party .
The party was formed in June 1947 by Doris Blackburn , the member for Bourke in the House of Representatives , and Charlie Mutton , the member for Coburg in the Victorian Legislative Assembly . It was created as a guarantee company so that both MPs could keep describing themselves as "Independent Labor " after the Australian Labor Party attempted to restrict the use of the word "Labor".[3] [4]
Mutton was re-elected in Coburg for the BMLP in 1947 and 1950 .
At the 1949 federal election , Bourke was abolished as a seat and Blackburn contested the new division of Wills . She had 20.6% of the vote, but was unsuccessful.[5]
Daniel Healy contested the 1949 Brunswick state by-election for the party, receiving 19.8% of the vote.[6]
In October 1950, the BMLP merged into the new Progressive Labor Party .[7] [8]
