TripleM gives ‘divisive’ former politician Mark Latham podcast and radio show ‘Lathamland’
Radio station Triple M has released a podcast from “divisive” former politician Mark Latham called ‘Lathamland’.
The 18-minute podcast was uploaded today, with the former Labor Party leader in a bombastic mood, taking on some of his pet themes around political correctness and “lefty feminists”.
A trailer for the show asks whether Latham is the “wild nutbag of Australian politics or could he be just what this country needs?”.
“…former Liberal Party leader”
Are you serious?
Mark Latham was the Labor leader…
Latham is actually a former leader of the Labor Party, and there’s footage of him crushing John Howard’s hand that proves it.
Oh – and that screencap has a problem, too…
Former Labor leader, not Liberal.
Hi Richard, Steely, Andrew and KGB,
Thanks all for flagging – my grave error, I shall go and hit myself around the head with a history book.
Cheers,

What kind of blackmail material does Latham have on these programers? He keeps getting air time, yet I thought he rated appallingly, why?
Latham should not be given any more air time. He is completely misguided and not a very well man.

A rhetorical question if ever I saw one.
Not a good look for Triple M which proudly supports white ribbon day.
Attention seekers.
This just demonstrates how Triple M has paid lip service to White Ribbon Day purely to reap the benefit of the positive association for themsleves. Mark Latham is a nasty troller who consistently tries to undermine the work being done to bring, the very serious problem of DV, to the attention of the masses. DV is the biggest killer of women under 45 in Australia, with one women being killed every week. Why would anyone want to give airtime to a man who attacks, Rosie Batty, one of the most respected campaigners trying to prevent these deaths?
Tap the ‘SJW / feminist outage hive mind, across social media, to hyper propel your brand.
profit, rinse and repeat.
ha ha, brilliant Triple M.

So much easy and free publicity available in pushing the buttons of the permanently outraged
