  Mark Latham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark William Latham (born 28 February 1961), an Australian politician, was Leader of the Federal Parliamentary Australian Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition from December 2003 to January 2005.
Latham was born in Ashcroft, a suburb of southwestern Sydney in New South Wales.
Latham also had a heated public confrontation with the Labor Deputy Leader in the Senate, Stephen Conroy, renewing speculation that there would be a challenge to Latham's leadership in the new year.

Latham was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and graduated from the University of Sydney with a degree in economics.
Latham remained loyal to Crean during the leadership challenge from Beazley in June 2003, and in July Crean promoted him to Shadow Treasurer and Manager of Opposition Business in the House of Representatives.
This made Latham the heir apparent to the Labor leadership should Crean have lost the election expected to be held in late 2004.

 ENOUGH ROPE with Andrew Denton - Transcript: Mark Latham
MARK LATHAM: But you know that that is quite intrusive, and I think in that that we're going more and more down the American path where everything that's public is open for scrutiny and everything's that private is regarded as public, you know.
MARK LATHAM: Well I thought that those who were acting as leaders of the Labor Party had spoken for the party and expressed all our concern, but as the Australian opposition what were we going to do, turn back the waves, organise the relief effort.
MARK LATHAM: Well I think they'll hopefully get an understanding of what their dad was doing in that early part of their life when for a while he was sort of a semi-stranger on TV and they used to yell out to their mum that "There's dad, he's on the TV screen".

MARK LATHAM: I raised that at the last federal election in response to some high school principals who are concerned about decline in discipline standards in their school and I backed them at that time.

 The revenge of Mark Latham | Samizdata.net
Mark Latham was a young idealistic figure when he joined the Australian Labour Party in 1979; within a decade he had become a Mayor of the Sydney suburb of Liverpool.
Latham clearly did care deeply about policy solutions to the problems of people; the diaries themselves suggest that most of his colleagues could not look past their own entitlements as MPs.
Mark Lathams summing up of his character is reflected in what he says and does in public.

 TIME Pacific Magazine: Latham's Ladder -- Oct. 04, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In that time, Mark Latham has got his comrades back in the race: he's revived interest in politics, not only within the professional class but among ordinary folks who are curious about the youthful leader.
Latham has acknowledged that growing up in the 1970s, his values "were based on the politics of us versus them." In Sydney parlance, he was a "westie." When the city had a million fewer people, the term was meant to be derogatory, signifying fibro housing, welfare mothers, hotted-up cars, small-time crime and a yobbo monoculture.
Latham is, at bottom, a traditional, pragmatic class warrior with a narrow worldview forged and bolted down in Sydney's western suburbs.

 Apocalypse now? - National - www.theage.com.au
Latham's friends marvel that he is now so apparently controlled and so rhetorically restrained, yet many insist — even hope — that the core of him remains the same roaring outsider, the same young man who wrote up match reports for the Liverpool Bulls rugby union team 20 years ago.
Latham says he was about 14 when he decided on a political career because he began to sense deprivation compared with wealthier parts of Sydney.
Yet Latham worked for Carr twice when he was Labor leader in Opposition, and those who saw him in his tiny office at the back of the NSW Parliament were amazed at his flow of ideas and his capacity for hard work.

The incident received wide media coverage and, while Latham claimed to have been attempting to counter what he referred to as Howard's "flapping" handshake style, it was variously reported as being "aggressive", "bullying" and "intimidating" on the part of Latham.
Political journalist Mungo McCallum wrote: "Latham became leader too early in his career, he lacked the skills needed to deal with the webs of intrigue within his own party, he refused to massage the media and the advisers he did listen to were out of their depth against Howard's praetorian guard.
In May 2005, after maintaining complete silence since January, Latham wrote to Beazley to announce that he was writing an autobiography and that he believed that an ALP farewell dinner (which he had previously declined) would be a good opportunity to launch the book.

 Mark Latham: Labor’s loner
In many ways, Mark Latham was seen as a potential Messiah who would lead the Australian Labor Party out of the political wilderness and to victory in the 2004 Federal election.
Mark Latham cut a sad and lonely figure in a run-down park near his electoral office where he stood alone and delivered a curt and pointed resignation statement to the assembled media pack before turning his back and walking away from a lifetime in politics.
Mark Latham may have exited from the parliamentary stage, but for the Labor Party — his shadow still lingers in a potentially, very damaging way.

 Henry Thornton - What Gives with Latham?
Latham followed this up with trying to capitalise on another matter of personal tragedy, or at least sadness, for another Liberal politician, jeering about the fact Tony Abbott had fathered an illegitimate child as a student (Abbott has never tried to cover up the matter and the child was put up for adoption).
Latham's ex-wife, Gabrielle Gwyther, has claimed that on the night she met him at a dinner-party, he dropped to the floor and started doing push-ups as if driven by some male urge to impress.
Latham completely spared Bush's closest ally, Tony Blair, any such criticism, and apparently still regards him as some sort of role-model, suggesting that his selective outburst against Bush was influenced by Labor tribalism.

 Mark Latham - Uncyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Instead he was the result of a failed genetic experiment by the Australian Labor Party to create a leader that was not a loser in High School.
Unfortunately, the Manhattan Project, as it was known, ended in failure as the combined dullness of his genetics proved too boring for anyone to be able to even look at him without falling asleep.
Consequently, Latham became a loser in High School, as he was the only person left awake in his classroom.
