Rogue independent NSW MP Mark Latham has denied shocking domestic abuse claims made by his former long-term partner and Liberal Party member Nathalie Matthews, which included accusations he forced her into degrading sexual acts.
The stunning allegations, which were reported on Monday night by The Australian, are detailed in documents filed with the NSW Local Court, with Matthews claiming that Latham engaged in a “sustained pattern” of abuse, including emotional, psychological and financial manipulation.

The application alleges Latham engaged in vile acts, “including defecating on me before sex and refusing to let me wash, forcing degrading sexual acts, pressuring me to engage in sexual acts with others, demanding I call him ‘master’, telling me I was his property, and repeatedly telling me that my only value to him was for sex to demean and control me.”
This masthead does not suggest that the claims against Latham are true, just that they have been made and will be contested in court.
Matthews, who, according to her LinkedIn profile, runs an e-commerce global logistics firm based in Dubai, Perth and Sydney, is seeking an order preventing Latham from going within 100 metres of her.
The Australian reported Matthews had taken the allegations to NSW Police, but they have not laid any charges or applied for an order on her behalf. NSW Police were contacted for comment on Monday night.

Labor leader material. ::)

Another large age difference.
She is 37 and he is 64.
