CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - A drunken night in a New York strip club four years ago by a lawmaker who is trying to become the next prime minister has turned the spotlight on Australian politicians' private lives.
Opposition leader Kevin Rudd predicted he would "take a belting in the opinion polls" after a report in News Corp. newspapers throughout Australia on Sunday about a drunken night he had in the high-priced Manhattan club Scores in 2003.
The 49-year-old former diplomat has denied reports that he was warned by management for touching strippers but added his recollection of the night was hazy because of alcohol.
