Morphology
Australian + labor + party
The meaning 'a political party in Australia representing labor/workers' is directly derivable from combining 'Australian' (connected with Australia), 'labor' (workers) and 'party' (an organized political group). This is a transparent, compositional naming pattern common across languages and standard for political party names, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Australian Labor Party gets its name from workers who joined together in Australia to take part in politics. The word Labor means 'workers' and Party means a political group, so the name shows it was made to speak for workers in politics.
