Mark Latham Denies Horror Abuse Claims Made by Former Partner

NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUL 14 – Mark Latham denies multiple domestic abuse claims including emotional and financial manipulation amid an ongoing court case involving a domestic violence order application.

  • Mark Latham, a 64-year-old NSW Legislative Council member and former Labor leader, denied domestic abuse allegations made by his former partner, Nathalie Matthews, 37.
  • These allegations stem from an apprehended violence application filed by Matthews seeking a no-contact order after claiming sustained emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, including degrading acts and intimidation.
  • Documents lodged in the NSW Local Court allege that Latham coerced Matthews into sexual activities involving others, insisted she refer to him as 'master', threw plates, drove his car towards her, and inflicted physical injuries.
  • Latham publicly called the allegations “comically false” on July 14, stating on X he has “scores of documents” to defend himself and called the claims “absolute rubbish.”
  • The case is set for mention at the Local Court in Downing Centre on July 30, reflecting ongoing legal issues amid Latham’s persistent denials and his contentious political history.
