The Labor View from Broome describes itself as "a forum for those who feel it is time to change the government in Australia" and "an old Labor view with a current agenda".  Although it has only been around for a several months, it has been commenting on the political issues with a fairly unique voice.  It is ultimately the voice of its author, Kevin Rennie, whose interesting life experience no doubt informs his ideology:

"Secondary teacher, unionist and Australian Labor Party member for 35 years. 8 years teaching in the Northern Territory: 4 in Katherine, followed by 4 in Maningrida, an aboriginal community in Arnhem Land. Broome resident since January 2007."
