    Australia talks tough to UN
    February 20 2003

    Australia has emerged as the strongest supporter of America in the
    international debate on Iraq, telling the United Nations Security Council
    that it rejects giving weapons inspectors more time to disarm Saddam
    Hussein.

    Australia was the only nation that used yesterday's special Security Council
    meeting to declare Iraq in "material breach" of UN resolution 1441, which
    set up the inspection regime.

    Its stance was in contrast to most of the 27 nations that addressed
    yesterday's session. Most demanded that the inspectors be given more time to
    disarm Iraq peacefully - defying the intentions of the US and Britain to
    seek a new resolution authorising war. [etc]
