He told any who would listen just how vile and depraved journalists were and now he has become one.

Former Labor leader Mark Latham is working with the Nine Network's 60 Minutes in the lead-up to the federal election campaign.

Mr Latham appeared in Canberra on Friday and interviewed Australian Greens leader Bob Brown before observing a press conference with a TV crew in tow.

In his incendiary diaries, Mr Latham routinely attacked journalists.

Asked by a reporter for his thoughts on the election campaign, Mr Latham said he was not at the press conference to answer questions but rather to observe.

Wearing sunglasses, a dark suit and security clearance card, Mr Latham was a far cry from his former self.

A Nine spokesman confirmed he was working with a news team.

"Yes Mark Latham is working with 60 Minutes," the spokesman told AAP.

"Having been there himself, Mark's intimate knowledge of campaigning will give our viewers an honest, unvarnished insight into what's really happening because for all the talk of realness it's all turned a bit unreal," a statement from the network said.

"It's not a square-up or an exercise in character assassination.

"Mark still has his gall bladder intact but he says it's not about bile."

The story will be aired on August 15.

[i]Latham will be another reason ( for me) to  not  watch 60 minutes.[/i] 

Turnbull got rolled on a party room vote over the ETS.

Costello supported his leader till the end,


Gillard decpitated Rudd over supposed loss of way poor polling etc, completely differnt scenario to the libs.
