One Nation’s Pauline Hanson has thrown her support behind Mark Latham, declaring she has confidence in the NSW leader of her party less than two months after she publicly denounced his homophobic tweet towards Sydney MP Alex Greenwich.
on March 30 and called on him to apologise, Hanson said she remained disappointed by his conduct and said she would seek more answers at a meeting with her NSW colleagues in the coming weeks.
Asked whether she still had confidence in Latham and whether he was appropriately representing the party, Hanson said: “most definitely”. She said it remained her view that Latham’s conduct was “inappropriate” but she said “it is not up to me to apologise for him”. In a video message posted to her Facebook that evening, Hanson called on Latham to apologise and revealed she had tried to call him “to no avail”, but her pleas were ignored with Latham issuing another tweet 24 hours later saying: “never apologise, never explain”.
“Mark has since spoken with me about how I feel about these matters. I’ve got two people who are gay who work in my office – there’s no problem with it at all. I don’t have an issue with that,” she said.
