Arm-breaker takes helm of Australian party

December 3, 2003

SYDNEY, Australia -- Australia's main opposition party elected as its leader Tuesday a man who once described John Howard, the prime minister, as an "arselicker."

Mark Latham, who is also notorious for breaking a taxi driver's arm in a fight over a fare, was elected leader of the Labor Party after the resignation last week of Simon Crean.

His election as prime minister would be likely to generate serious tensions with the United States, Australia's main strategic and defense partner.

He once called President Bush "the most incompetent and dangerous president in living memory."
