Mark Latham has issued an incendiary statement after Pauline Hanson took over the New South Wales One Nation branch, taking aim straight at Hanson.

The former Labor leader has been embroiled in near endless controversy since representing One Nation in NSW, with him currently in the early stages of a defamation case with another parliamentarian.

Latham decried Hanson’s actions, and said if Hanson was worried about votes and under-performance, she should “buy a mirror”.
