After the Australian Labor Party (ALP) won government in 1983, he became Deputy Leader of the Opposition, but in 1985 successfully challenged Andrew Peacock[?] for the leadership of the Liberal party (and thus the title of Opposition Leader).
The Colston case was particularly controversial; the Liberals reached an agreement with him in which he left the Labor party to vote with the government, in exchange for their electing him Deputy President of the Senate (a position which carries significant prestige and a pay rise of approximately AUD $16,000).
To opponents of the government, this seemed particularly egregious, because as a Senator, Colston was elected through the ALP party list, not an as individual representative; his actions were thus perceived as a serious breach of democratic faith.
Like other social democratic parties, Labor tends to believe that government is generally a positive force in the community and that it is the responsibility of governments to intervene in the operation of the economy (and society in general) to improve outcomes.
The ALP during its early years was distinguished by its rapid growth and success at a national level, first forming a minority national government under Chris Watson in April 1904, and forming its first majority government under Andrew Fisher in 1910.
The ALP was split between those who believed in radical policies such as NSW Premier Jack Lang, who wanted to repudiate Australia's debt to British bondholders, proto-Keynesians such as federal Treasurer Ted Theodore, and believers in orthodox finance such as Prime Minister James Scullin and a senior minister in his government, Joseph Lyons.
