Labor disassociates itself in NSW ...

Excerpt from Sunday Telegraph:

13 September 2008

Voters who turned up in Sydney, Marrickville and Leichhardt were confronted by Labor candidates campaigning under a new banner: Local Labor.

At Kiama, members of disgraced ex-police minister Matt Brown's party contested the election as Community First candidates and dropped any affiliation with the Labor Party.

At Orange, Country Labor candidates not only ran as unaffiliated but allegedly used masking tape to hide the word "Labor"' on campaign posters.
