Summary

Description
English: Dominant standard spelling in countries, such as defence/defense or labour/labor according to official sources like what the government's official websites and what the schools teach.
 
defence/labour/organise, English is official (de facto or de jure)
 
defence/labour/organise, English is not official
 
Canadian defence/labour/organize, but program/aluminum, etc.
 
defense/labor/organize, English is official (de facto or de jure)
 
defense/labor/organize, English is not official
 
Australian defence/labour (except for Labor Party)/organise, but analog/burqa/program/verandah/livable, etc. English is official (de facto or de jure).
 
Inconsistent use of US and British spelling.

Note 1: In Canada, the majority of words are spelled with British Oxford spelling (defence, labour, centre, cheque, catalogue, etc., and the suffix -ize and -yse instead of the popular variant -ise and -yse), but many are spelled with American spelling (tire, curb, program, livable, draft, cozy, aluminum, etc.).

Note 2: In Australia, most words are usually spelled in accordance with standard British spelling (aluminium, anaemia, analyse and other words with the -yse suffix, catalogue, centre, cheque, colour, diarrhoea, organise and other words with the -ise suffix, travelling, etc.), but a large number of words are spelled in accordance with standard American spelling (analog, fetus, livable, program, sizable, eon, annex, specialty etc.) and others are spelled differently to either, such as verandah and medieval.

In all documents, ministry names are written in BrE. The use of "labor" are negligibly rare in TCCB, and "defense" is only used as a verb. Since the use of BrE is encouraged, we can ignore a few uses written in AmE.
