ALP caucusing

Wollongong ALP Lord Mayoral hopeful Chris Connor has declared that no ALP councillors on the new Wollongong Council will caucus. This sounds fine in principle but it contravenes ALP rules, which require caucusing. Is Mr Connor going to risk expulsion from the Party, or is he planning to have the rules changed?
Meanwhile, in Shellharbour, David Boyle, who is NOT running as an ALP candidate even though he is an ALP member, has indicated he will engage in caucusing with any ALP councillors. Not much consistency from the local ALP, is there?
