Introduction

We hope you have come to this page just to see what we've got to say, however, if you are having problems moving around our pages or finding what you're after, these notes should help. If you still encounter problems please e-mail our webkeeper and we will do whatever we can to assist.

Navigation

The major navigation components are the main navigation bar, the location bar and icons. In addition there are text links at the bottom of all pages and return to top of the page buttons on all longer pages.

Pages which are a section of a multi-part document will display which section you are currently in and back and forward buttons to allow movement through the entire document.

The navigation bar
This bar will indicate which section of the site you are currently in and allow you to move to the top level sections of the site.

Action - the place to join the ALP and to give us some feedback
People - details on the ALP's parliamentary and administrative teams
Media
- the place to find media statements, speeches, feature articles and interviews
Policy - Labor's plans for first decade of the new century
About - full details about the ALP, including contact details and our history and achievements

The location bar - Version 4 browsers only
This bar will expand as you move through the site and down from the home page, providing details of the current directory and page title. The bar is also clickable, allowing you to move back to any level of the site.

Icons
The icons under the map on the right hand side of all main pages will take you to feature sections of the site.

Browser based navigation functions
Some of the more powerful navigation aids are included in your browser. These include the Back button, access to a back function by right clicking in some browsers and keyboard shortcuts. For example in Internet Explorer the backspace key acts as a back function. In both Explorer and Netscape Navigator Alt + the left arrow key wll take you back one page, Alt + the right arrow key forward one page.

Printing

A printer friendly page icons appear on all pages of the site.

This icon allows you to print all sections of the current document.

Clicking on the icon will take you to a version of the current page or group of pages which will print black on white with no unneccessary HTML. Once you have printed the page/s required it is necessary for you to use the back button on your browser to return to the original page.

Browser Compatibility
