Mr Latham came under public scrutiny over a graphic and homophobic tweet, that Sky News Australia has chosen not to publish, against MP Alex Greenwich last week.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party must ‘take action’ over Mark Latham’s ‘homophobic’ tweetIndependent MP Alex Greenwich says Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party which Mark Latham represents needs to “take action” if Ms Hanson is “so outraged” by the comments made on Twitter by Mr Latham. “The party that Mr Latham represents in upper house is named after Pauline Hanson, surely if she is so outraged and disgusted by his vile homophobic remarks, she’s going to need to take action to protect her own name,” Mr Greenwich told Sky News Australia. “Mr Latham probably needs to work out whether the New South Wales upper house is an appropriate workplace for him … I hope he takes time to reflect on his position. “The New South Wales parliament should be a place where we work together, have robust debate and deliver on outcomes for the people … not a place where we engage in personalised homophobic sexualised attacks on one another.”
