One Nation federal leader Senator Pauline Hanson, who appeared at an anti-transgender rally last week in Canberra, took to Twitter on Thursday to condemn Mr Latham's homophobic attack.Senator Hanson said she had tried calling the firebrand MP a few times to ask him to issue a public apology but he had not responded.
"This is a party which is based on attacking different minority groups within our community, one by one," he said. He encouraged Labor MPs to continue with the respect and civility that characterised the state election campaign and approach every debate and conversation with respect. Mr Latham's tweet was posted in response to a news article in which Mr Greenwich branded him "a disgusting human being".
