lucky, Latham was not elected

The would-be Australia Prime Minister and former Labor leader Mark Latham, who punched a Daily Telegraph photographer in January this year, has chosen to ignore the Australian juridical system... refusing to attend his own charges in the court yesterday. Instead, this man who maliciously destroyed photographer's camera was lecturing university students.

He needed reporters to help him get elected, but when he does not need reporters, he punches them.

That was not all, he blamed everybody else.

[W]hen asked by a student how he could blame everyone else but himself, Mr Latham replied: "I'm sorry I didn't come in here and expose myself as a miserable arsewipe."

He blamed the media, particularly the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Ltd papers, for his downfall.
