Pauline Hanson condemns Mark Latham over homophobic tweet - ABC News (Australia)
Last edited Fri Mar 31, 2023, 09:57 AM - Edit history (1)
One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham has been condemned by prime minister Anthony Albanese and party founder Pauline Hanson for making a homophobic remark aimed at independent MP Alex Greenwich.
==============
I was unable to locate a screenshot of Latham's tweet, but I did find this information at the Daily Mail (my apologies for the source):
One Nation leader Latham objected to independent MP Alex Greenwich calling him 'disgusting' and wrote:
'Disgusting? How does that compare with sticking your d*** up a bloke's a*** and covering it with s***?'
Furthermore, Latham doubles down on his comments: 'Never apologise, never explain'
