"The tribunal stated that Latham's social media message incited his followers to express 'hatred towards, serious contempt for, or to severely ridicule' Greenwich based on his homosexuality."
"Latham's statement unlawfully suggested that Greenwich engages in 'disgusting sexual activities' that render him 'not a fit and proper person to be a member of the NSW Parliament.'"
A legal tribunal in Australia ordered Mark Latham to pay $100,000 to Alex Greenwich for unlawful vilification and sexual harassment related to Greenwich's homosexuality. The case stemmed from Latham's public statements on social media and other platforms. The tribunal mandated Latham to delete his homophobic posts and refrain from similar statements. Latham plans to appeal the ruling. His comments were deemed to incite hatred and ridicule towards Greenwich, leading to a campaign of harassment against him.
