There is no doubt that Mr Della Bosca and Belinda Neal have brought the Labor Party into further disrepute. Not because they were peeved about their party being asked to move to the balcony. But because they followed a fairly ordinary disagreement with staff, with what is perceived by many as an extraordinary abuse of power against workers and management not just any workers but their own constituents !  The fact that these two have not been booted from the party may be interpreted as Labor not bothered by the perceived abuse of political power.
