Labor still 'a divided mess': O'Farrell NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has labelled Labor "a divided mess" in the wake of Thursday's leadership tussle within the federal party. Labor MPs and senators met for a caucus spill motion on Thursday afternoon after party elder Simon Crean sought to end months of speculation about a Kevin Rudd comeback. Ms Gillard retained the leadership unopposed after Mr Rudd announced he wouldn't stand in the absence of a request from a majority of the party. Mr O'Farrell told AAP on Thursday night that "nothing had changed" in the wake of the tumultuous events. "Labor are still a divided mess and only a change of government will deliver NSW its fair share of infrastructure funding," Mr O'Farrell said.
