Click on the 2019 Labor Party how-to-vote card below for a zoomable picture of it, for finer detail.

The card below names no Labor candidates for the Senate, thus asking voters to elect unnamed persons.

The three largest parties resent the increasing success of smaller parties in the Senate. Nevertheless, such parties that each exploit a candidate's name; Hanson, Xenophon, Lambie and Hinch; together elected as many senators as the Greens in 2016.

Labor continues to advantage its smaller rivals by stubbornly refusing to show its Senate candidates' names on its how-to-vote cards, as though, unlike its smaller rivals, Labor either has no Senate candidates that would appeal to, or be recognized by, voters as individuals, or it does not recognize or respect the democratic significance of the Constitution's requirement for the direct election of senators.

The card ineptly ignores, and thus potentially offends, below-the-line voters, who obviously consider that there is a need to vote below-the-line, but Labor has at least discontinued its previous standard message that there was "no need to vote below-the-line".
