The NSW electoral commission will examine the firebrand politician’s claims.
NSW MP Mark Latham has quit One Nation after the firebrand politician accused the party of financial impropriety in an explosive letter sent to the state government – allegations that have been referred to the electoral commission.
“I have had highs and lows in public life, but I have always stuck to strong standards of honesty and integrity. I have never been accused of mishandling public money,” Latham wrote. “Payments from the ... Administration Fund had been redirected to the party’s Brisbane office where, in turn, they had been used to purchase conveyor belts, other fixed equipment and PHON merchandise,” he alleged.
“Due to my actions, [PHON national director Rob] Miles and the Brisbane offices relented, and I was able to resolve a situation which was causing great distress to our NSW One Nation officials,” he alleged.
