Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones lashes Mark Latham for attempting to 'reheat the culture wars' in the wake of violent clash in south-west Sydney
The New South Wales One Nation leader was due to speak at an event inside the church, where NSW Police say about 500 people had gathered at about 5pm. Superintendent Sheridan Waldau described the violence as"very disappointing" when she spoke to media on Wednesday morning. "Not idiots like Mark Latham running around trying to reheat culture wars that have a detrimental effect on our kids, and frankly distract the community from the things that really matter."
