Independent New South Wales MP Mark Latham has firmly denied any violations of laws or parliamentary rules in a detailed public statement addressing recent allegations. The former federal Labor leader responded to reports of inappropriate behavior in the state parliament amid mounting political pressure.
Latham faces accusations related to emotional and physical abuse of his ex-partner, Nathalie Matthews, and claims that he participated in a consensual sex video recorded in his office. Matthews is currently pursuing a civil court apprehended violence order against him, alleging a pattern of abuse and coercion into degrading sex acts. Latham has dismissed these claims as “nonsense.”
In his address to the media in southwest Sydney on Saturday, Latham refused to confirm or deny whether he engaged in sexual activity in his office. However, he maintained he had no knowledge of any video involving himself, referencing reports by the Sydney Morning Herald.
“I have checked my devices, and I cannot find any material [Ms. Matthews] has filmed involving me, including at New South Wales Parliament House,” Latham stated.
