The bitter division between the Government and Labor over war with Iraq widened yesterday with an ALP frontbencher attacking the United States ambassador to Australia.
Victorian MP Martin Ferguson, a close associate of Opposition Leader Simon Crean, said the Government's decision to commit forces "destroys Australia's independence and makes us subservient to the president of a foreign country".
He insulted US ambassador Tom Schieffer, describing him as "a grubby little ambassador" who continued to meddle in Australia's domestic political affairs.
