The many controversies of Mark Latham — podcast
Mark Latham came close to becoming an Australian prime minister, but it's very different headlines being made now. After a career of controversy, the New South Wales upper house MP is being taken to a NSW local court by an ex-partner seeking an apprehended violence order. Separately, there have also been claims of inappropriate behaviour directed towards other female MPs. Latham will contest the allegations in the AVO matter in court and has otherwise denied any wrongdoing. Chief political correspondent Tom McIlroy speaks to Reged Ahmad about how this latest controversy has ricocheted to the upper echelons of federal Labor and sparked a debate about his portrait, which still hangs in Parliament House

I'm Martin Farrer with the top overnight stories and then it'll be Nick Visser to guide you through what may well be another very busy news day. Our chief political correspondent, Tom McIlroy, is in Canada at the G7 summit in Canada, where Anthony Albanese is lining up meetings with leaders and trying to navigate the currents of geopolitical crisis. We'll have blow-by-blow coverage and analysis for you here soon. On the domestic political front it's a big day with the fate of the New South Wales Liberal party to be decided. The party's federal executive will weigh up whether to end or extend its control over the division at a crunch meeting. The Victorian Liberals may also cast off the party elders conducting a review of that state divison. We'll have the news as it happens. A poll by YouGov has found that more than half of voters support or strongly support reducing tax concessions for super balances over $3m. The survey, commissioned by the Australia Institute, found 26% of people oppose or strongly oppose the changes and 22% are undecided. More coming up.
