Mark Latham's ex Nathalie Matthews ordered to hand over escort bookings records
In a new subpoena served on Nathalie May Matthews, 37, Mr Latham's legal team asserts she has several 'aliases' including Nathalie Darrough – which is believed to be her maiden name – and her Muslim name, Maryam Abdullah.
The legal document also requires Ms Matthews to hand over all entries, postings, images and videos from her OnlyFans account from January, 2021, to the current date.
The fresh legal filing specifically zeros in on the date of Mr Latham's 64th birthday on February 28, 2025.
It requests a copy of all communications including emails, receipts and credit card records for 'the booking of escorts on February 28, 2025 at the Fullerton Hotel Sydney with Red Door Escort Agency'.
News.com.au does not suggest that Ms Matthews made the booking or that she or Mr Latham had sex with escorts, only that his legal team has sought documents in a subpoena. Sex work is legal in NSW and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing.
Mr Latham said the subpoenas were designed to test his ex-lover's claim he made her have sex with other men.
'She's falsely claimed in her private application to the court that I made her have sex with other people, so this allows us to interrogate the people that unprompted by me… she's had sex with, and there are many,' Mr Latham said.
'So the (subpoenas are) directed in part ... to get information that's relevant to her application so it can be tested in the court, which, of course, is the process of justices.'
As to the claim he defecated on his former girlfriend during sex, he dismissed as 'nonsense, complete nonsense'.
'(She is ) making things up… as I said earlier in the week, most of the things she's complaining about, or 95 per cent of the things she's complaining about, she initiated,' he claimed.
Red Door Agency promotes itself as a leading agency providing high class escorts for couples seeking a 'ménage a trois'.
'Have you always wanted to add a beautiful woman into your bedroom universe? Do you imagine having a woman who you and your significant other could enjoy?,' the website states.
'Our agency is high-end, elite, and most importantly, discreet. No one will ever know you and your partner enjoyed a Red Door threesome unless you tell them.'
'Sexed up' relationship
Mr Latham has spoken out over the breakdown of the relationship, insisting on Saturday it was a 'sexed up' relationship until their break up in May, when he alleges Ms Matthews confronted him 'covered in mud'.
'This was like something from World War Z,' he said.
'(But) one thing's abundantly clear – what we had for over two years was a sexed-up consensual open arrangement between adults with a fair bit of other contacts, such as fun days of the races through in. I didn't make any moral Judgement about her.
'I just enjoyed our time together, and it was enjoyable for 90 per cent of the time. The other (10) per cent could be dark and disturbing, but I rationalised it by thinking at my age, an age at which my father had already dropped dead, 90 per cent beat 10 per cent.
'But ultimately, there was an incident that ended it all as I mentioned earlier: the races.'
Leaked sexts
Leaked texts have laid bare the breakdown in Mr Latham's relationship with his ex-lover and the couple's habit of graphic sexting exchanges and the use of tracking devices to find a 'f*ck parlour'.
Ms Matthews has sought an AVO from police but the matter is yet to be heard. Mr Latham denies the allegations and has not been charged with any criminal offence.
The texts, first published by The Daily Telegraph are sexually charged and graphic.
In one text exchange on February 20 at 11:06 am, the former Labor leader writes, 'Master's c**k needs relief too. Very hard thinking about you.'
The 64-year-old follows up with a series of emojis including a purple eggplant and a tongue. 'Haven't c*m in days,' he writes. 'Lots of c**k tension.'
The messages continue throughout the day with Mr Latham referencing parliamentary work around 8pm.
'Made it back for the first vote after dinner,' he writes. 'I needed that. You're amazing.'
'Master' nickname revealed
Ms Matthews has alleged he asked her to call him 'master' and engaged in degrading sexual acts in a shocking apprehended violence application.
She outlined the claims in an application to the NSW Local Court and is seeking a no-contact order for up to two years.
Mr Latham who is a New South Wales Legislative Council member, has issued an emphatic denial about the claims.
'The claims you've listed there are absolute rubbish,' Mr Latham said.
'Comical in fact.'
Mr Latham said the relationship was entirely consensual and he never pressured her to have sex with other men.
He says they had an 'open relationship'.
'Degrading' sexual acts alleged
Ms Matthews is seeking an order preventing Mr Latham from going within 100m of her, alleging an 'ongoing, reasonable fear of harassment, intimidation, and potential harm'.
'Throughout our relationship, the defendant engaged in a sustained pattern of emotional, physical, sexual, psychological, and financial abuse, including defecating on me before sex and refusing to let me wash,' the application states.
'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.'
News.com.au does not suggest the claims are true, only that they have been made in an application to the NSW Local Court in pursuit of an AVO.
In Ms Matthews original AVO application she claims Mr Latham encouraged her 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'.
Billionaire dragged into text mess
On Friday, fresh texts revealed that Mr Latham joked with his ex-lover that billionaire Richard White owed her 'big money' and urged her to seek compensation for a nondisclosure agreement in new leaked texts.
Messages exchanged between Mr Latham and Ms Matthews also reveal that the former Labor leader joked she should perform oral sex on Mr White.
In the sordid text, he suggests she should do so to 'celebrate' after a series of board members quit the tech company in the wake of a sex scandal controversy.
Mr White is not accused of any wrongdoing and news.com.au does not suggest Ms Matthews and Mr White engaged in a sexual relationship, only that Mr Latham joked about his partner performing oral sex on the 70-year old billionaire.
In the text messages published by The Australian, Mr Latham sent Ms Matthews a news article about the scandal engulfing the billionaire's company.
'He owes you big money,' Mr Latham wrote.
'Get the compo NDA!!!'
According to The Australian newspaper, Ms Matthews replied there were 'not really grounds'. 'I could kill my professional career,' she wrote. 'Remember I don't have a secure job.'
The pair had a series of discussions about the billionaire with Mr Latham predicting Mr White 'coming back as CEO will make him a huge target'.
On February 24, Mr Latham sent Ms Matthews a news article noting several WiseTech board members had quit.
'He will want you to suck his c**k to celebrate,' Mr Latham wrote. 'What an honour!!'
He added a shocked face emoji.
Mr Latham then suggested Mr White would soon be 'back as CEO' which would 'increase share price'.
'So buy 30k at 2pm today,' he wrote. 'Bargain.'
When Ms Matthews jokingly questioned whether this was 'insider trading', Mr Latham replied: 'Insider f**king.'
'Haha,' he wrote. 'Not insider trading at all.'
Latham denies insider trading
On Saturday, Mr Latham again denied he ever bought or sold WiseTech shares despite discussing financial information about the company with Ms Matthews – which he learned of through her private conversations with Mr White.
'I've never bought a share in my life,' he declared to reporters. 'Next question.'
Mr Latham would also not deny he had sex with Ms Matthews in his parliamentary office, insisting people could 'write whatever they like'.
'Members of parliament are allowed to run their own office,' he said.
'These are not matters of public interest … but the truth is, members of parliament have privilege for whatever happens in their office, (it) is their own domain.'
Statement from Ms Matthews' solicitor
In a statement, Ms Matthews solicitor said she has no comment to make at this point in time.
'However, what is disappointing in this situation, where an individual has sought help from the judicial system, and before the court has even had the ability to hear the matter, is that my client has been subjected to character assassination, reputational damage and trial by media,' she said.
'Domestic violence is a serious issue in our society. Any individual in genuine fear should have the right to seek protection without vilification.'

Melbourne teenager ‘shot himself' with homemade gun
A teenager is fighting for life after a firearm mishap at a Melbourne home. Police are investigating reports a 16-year-old boy was playing with a homemade gun when it discharged inside the home in Seaford in the city's south east, about 4.30pm on Sunday. It is believed the boy was at a friend's home when the incident occurred. He was taken to the Alfred Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition. The injured teenager is a known criminal and was involved in an attack on a boy in Glen Huntly in September 2023, 7NEWS reports. Ben Phikihpoom, the victim, was walking home from school when he was mugged by a group of teens two years ago. Ben, who was 15-years-old at the time, was dragged into a stolen car in an attempted kidnapping, before he was thrown from the vehicle. He suffered serious, lifelong injuries, but has now returned to school. There's no suggestion he has any connection to Sunday's shooting. Regarding Sunday's incident, police will look into who owned the weapon and if it was registered. Police are not looking for anyone else in relation to the believed accidental shooting. A Victoria Police statement said: 'At this early stage detectives are not actively looking for anyone else in relation to the matter and the investigation is ongoing.'

Anthony Michael Mu: MKR star faces child assault allegations in Brisbane
Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. A My Kitchen Rules star allegedly subjected a child to a torrent of vile abuse – including an occasion where he allegedly dragged and choked her over a dispute about tomato sauce. Anthony Michael Mu pleaded not guilty to seven charges, including assault occasioning bodily harm, common assault and observations in breach of privacy, at the start of his hearing at Richlands Magistrates Court on Monday. While listed for a single day, the summary trial was adjourned until October due to scheduling conflicts at the court. At least four other witnesses are due to give evidence. Members of Mr Mu's family and a large group of supporters packed out the courtroom - some at times appearing to make remarks and at from the public gallery as witnesses gave their evidence. Severalturned up wearing badges that read 'False allegations destroy lives'. Mr Mu and his wife, Claudean Uamaki-Mu, both appeared on the Channel 7 reality cooking show in 2023 and were promoted as 'married battlers', 'a fiery Italian and a super chill Samoan with hearts of gold.' Anthony Michael Mu has pleaded not guilty to seven charges, including assault occasioning bodily harm, common assault and observations in breach of privacy. Picture: NewsWire/ Glenn Campbell Claudean Uamaki-Mu attended court in support of her husband on Monday. Picture: NewsWire/ Glenn Campbell The pair have been in and out of court for more than a year on abuse-related allegations, with Ms Uamaki-Mu pleading guilty to six charges of common assault in May. She walked from court with no convictions recorded, along with a 12-month good behaviour bond and $1000 recognisance. On the first day of Mr Mu's trial, a woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – told the court about several assaults she alleged Mr Mu subjected her to years ago. At the time, she was a child under the age of 18. One allegedly involved her being beaten with a metal spatula on her hands, arm and knuckles. On another occasion, the woman said she was allegedly 'tackled' through a wall by Mr Mu after she 'rolled her eyes' at him and was set upon by Mr Mu during a birthday party before allegedly being pushed down stairs. At work the next week, the woman said a co-worker noticed one of her bruises. 'She asked if she could take photos of the bruises. I was really scared and nervous and said no,' the woman said. Mr Mu is alleged to have assaulted a child on several occasions. Picture: NewsWire/ Glenn Campbell The woman said that when she was an adult, Mr Mu went to get McDonald's for dinner. The court was told the woman 'sighed' after Mr Mu said he forgot her tomato sauce for her meal, leading to him getting 'irate' and calling her a 'disrespectful c**t'. Mr Mu allegedly threw a burger at the back of her head, grabbed her hair and screamed at her to 'get the f**k up'. 'I couldn't quite stand because he had the back of my hair in his hands. I slipped and fell … he dragged me by my hair,' she said. 'I believe he was still calling me a 'disrespectful c**t'.' The woman said she felt her hair was being pulled out but did not see any clumps of hair on the floor, aside from feeling 'a lot of pain'. 'I remember he pulled me up to my feet by my hair. He then choked me on the wall,' she continued. 'I was hyperventilating when this was happening. 'It was no more than 30 seconds to a minute.' The court was told the woman was too scared to report the alleged abuses to police. During cross-examination by defence barrister Stephen Kissick, the woman denied that she was lying about the alleged assaults for either publicity or financial gain. Mr Mu's barrister Stephen Kissick questioned the witness whether she was lying about the alleged assaults taking place, but the woman rejected this question. Picture: NewsWire/ Glenn Campbell Mr Kissick asked if she had been 'reminded' about the alleged abuse during conversations with people she was still in touch with. 'No, we didn't need reminding,' the woman said. She rejected suggestions that she had been laughing and joking about the allegations before appearing teary and 'hyperventilating' when she went to visit police. Mr Kissick put to the woman the allegations in her statement were a 'complete game' against Mr Mu and Ms Uamaki-Mu, but the woman rejected this. Mr Kissick asked her: 'You're prepared to say anything against these people, aren't you?' The woman replied: 'No, only the truth.' The trial will resume in October. Mr Mu remains on bail.

Victoria says $776 million treaty negotiations claim ‘cherry-picked', but $308 million spent since 2020
The Victorian government has hit back at 'cherry-picked analysis' that claimed it has spent more than $776 million on treaty negotiations since 2016. The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), a conservative think tank, on Sunday published analysis of spending items in Victorian government budget documents relating to treaty or 'self-determination' initiatives. The report claimed Victoria had spent $776.2 million on programs related to the development of a state treaty since 2016, with $100.6 million committed in the 2026 financial year alone and $220 million in the first two full financial years following the defeat of the Voice referendum. 'This is cherry-picked analysis from a Liberal Party-aligned think tank,' a Victorian government spokesperson said. 'If you listen to the people directly affected by policies, you get better outcomes — that's common sense. Treaty is about making a better and fairer state for all Victorians — negotiations are underway and we look forward to bringing Treaty to the Parliament.' The government would not confirm the IPA's figures, but noted $308 million had been invested into the Treaty since the 2020-21 budget, according to publicly available annual reports. Analysis of annual reports and budget papers by the Herald Sun put the figure at $382.4 million over the past 10 years. Some of that funding has gone into setting up the Treaty Authority, an 'independent umpire' created by the First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria and the State of Victoria to oversee the process. The Herald Sun reported in 2023 that members of the Treaty Authority panel could be paid a salary of up to $380,000 per year plus expenses if they worked full-time. The Victorian government first committed to advancing a treaty with Indigenous Victorians in 2016. Negotiations formally began in November 2024, and Victoria plans to finalise a treaty by the end of the 2026 financial year. Victoria would be the first Australian jurisdiction to negotiate a formal treaty with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. But the IPA said Victorians remained largely in the dark about what a treaty would entail, despite the hundreds of millions of dollars spent and hundreds of meetings held since 2017 in preparation for negotiations. 'Despite the Victorian government spending in excess of $776 million on secret treaty negotiations, mainstream Victorians are none the wiser as to what special rights and reparations it will grant to some Victorians based solely on race,' IPA research fellow Margaret Chambers said in a statement. The report noted that between July 2016 and June 2025, 727 meetings had been held by the Victorian government in relation to the development of a treaty — but just four public statements had been issued and the 'substance of these negotiations remains largely undisclosed'.That number included meetings between First Peoples' negotiating parties and the state of Victoria to negotiate or prepare for Treaty agreements, and meetings with departments to support whole of Victorian government co-ordination and engagement in Treaty negotiations. 'The Victorian government is not being honest and upfront with Victorians about its plan to divide the community by race,' Ms Chambers said. 'With a treaty scheduled to be finalised in the next 12 months, and despite the volume of secret meetings over the past decade, very little is known about what this treaty will entail. 'Any treaty will fundamentally change Victoria's legal structure and will likely require already financially stretched Victorian taxpayers to pay billions of dollars to activists aligned to the Allan government. 'Yet, for a government which operates one of the most sophisticated and well-funded spin machines ever seen, just four statements, totalling 1588 words, have been released on the Allan government's plan to divide Victorians by race.' Recent IPA analysis claimed the monetary compensation, tax relief and litigation which would flow from a treaty in Victoria based on the landmark Yoorrook report would be in excess of $48 billion annually. 'Victorians voted against racial division at the Voice referendum,' Ms Chambers said. 'Jacinta Allan is demonstrating complete and utter contempt for the Victorian people, and our democracy, by pursuing this treaty that will divide and cripple Victoria. 'With all the problems that Victoria faces, the last thing the community needs is a two-tiered legal system where some have special rights and get special government payments. Every Victorian should be treated equally under the law.'
