More Mark Latham texts revealed, this time involving a well-known billionaire and his ex-partner
Latham made the remarks to his former partner Nathalie Matthews in a series of text exchanges reported by The Australian on Friday.
The NSW Upper House member also joked Ms Matthews should perform oral sex on the 70-year-old founder of Wisetech Global to 'celebrate', after four board members left the firm and he was appointed executive chairman in February.
Latham sent Ms Matthews a news article about the latest development and joked she was owed 'big money' by Mr White and that she should 'get that compo DNA!!!!'
Ms Matthews' past as an OnlyFans content creator was revealed by Daily Mail Australia on Friday, where she posted graphic images and videos of herself under the suggestive name Bondi C** Sl** from 2019 to 2023.
Ms Matthews replied that there were 'not really grounds' to support such a claim.
'I could kill my professional career. Remember, I don't have a secure job,' she said.
But Latham persisted, saying the company 'will pay big time'.
The revelations come after Mr White was dragged into a messy row between the former partners, after Latham's lawyer Zali Burrows served a subpoena on both the Wisetech founder and Ms Matthews.
The subpoena requested emails, text messages, and OnlyFans direct messages between Mr White and Ms Matthews, who connected on LinkedIn in 2023.
Mr White is not accused of any wrongdoing and Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Mr White and Ms Matthews engaged in a sexual relationship, only that Latham joked about her performing a sex act on the tech billionaire.
Mr White resigned as chief executive of Wisetech last October but was appointed executive chairman in February, after four board members stepped down.
On February 24, Mr Latham sent Ms Matthews a news article about the latest development at the billionaire's company.
'He will want you to suck his c*** to celebrate,' Mr Latham wrote.
'What an honour!' he added, along with an emoji of a shocked expression.
He later suggested Mr White would soon be 'back as CEO', adding it would 'increase share price'.
'So buy 30k at 2pm today,' he urged Ms Matthews.
Ms Matthews then jokingly asked whether this was 'insider trading' to which Latham replied: 'Insider f***-ing.'
The former OnlyFans creator is seeking an apprehended violence order against Mr Latham, claiming he inflicted 'a sustained pattern' of psychological, financial and emotional abuse against her for almost three years.
She alleged vile acts 'including defecating on me before sex and refusing to let me wash'.
Ms Matthews has further alleged his behaviour involved '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'.
Latham noted the AVO case against him was being brought privately after NSW Police chose not to pursue the allegations.
The MP has categorically denied he 'abuses women' and insisted all his dealings with Ms Matthews were entirely consensual.
It is not suggested the claims of abusive behaviour are substantiated, only that the allegations have been made.
Ms Matthews runs an e-commerce global logistics firm based in Dubai, Perth and Sydney.
Ms Matthews now runs an e-commerce global logistics firm based in Dubai, Perth and Sydney.
A spokesperson for Ms Matthews told Daily Mail Australia her client had 'no comment to make at this point in time.'
'Domestic violence is a serious issue in our society,' they said.
'Any individual in genuine fear should have the right to seek protection without vilification.'
Mr Latham and Mr White were contacted by Daily Mail Australia.

Britain, Australia to deepen AUKUS commitment, economic ties
SYDNEY, July 25 (Reuters) - Australia and Britain's defence and foreign ministers arrived for talks in Sydney on Friday on boosting cooperation, including deepening the two countries commitment to the AUKUS nuclear submarine partnership. Britain's Foreign Minister David Lammy and Defence Secretary John Healey were met by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Sydney, where talks are expected to focus on boosting trade ties and progressing the AUKUS partnership for Britain and Australia to build a new class of nuclear-powered submarine. The United States is reviewing the trilateral agreement struck in 2021, and has pressed Australia to increase defence spending to counter China's military build-up in the Indo Pacific region. A new British-Australian treaty will underpin each country's submarine programmes and is expected to be worth up to 20 billion pounds ($27 billion) to Britain in exports over the next 25 years, Britain's Ministry of Defence said. "AUKUS is one of Britain's most important defence partnerships, strengthening global security while driving growth at home," British defence minister John Healey said in a statement. The treaty "confirms our AUKUS commitment for the next half century," he added. Following the Australia-United Kingdom Ministerial Consultations (AUKMIN), ministers are scheduled to travel to the northern garrison city of Darwin, where the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has arrived for the Talisman Sabre war games. As many as 40,000 troops from 19 countries are taking part in the Talisman Sabre exercises held from July 13 to August 4, which Australia's military has said are a rehearsal of joint war fighting that contribute to stability in the Indo-Pacific. Britain has significantly increased its participation in the exercise co-hosted by Australia and the United States, with 3,000 troops taking part.

IRS considers eliminating ability to file your taxes in language other than English
The Trump administration is reportedly considering eliminating language services at the Internal Revenue Service, a move that would make it significantly more difficult for non-English speaking individuals to file their taxes. The report comes from two individuals familiar with the plans who spoke to The Washington Post. The individuals said that the IRS is currently considering how it could comply with President Donald Trump 's executive order declaring English the U.S.'s official language. The validity of that order has been questioned by some legal scholars. 'Establishing English as the official language will not only streamline communication but also reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society,' Trump's order says. On July 14, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo to federal agencies directing them on how to implement Trump's executive order. The memo requires officials to produce department-wide plans to "phase out unnecessary multilingual offerings" and to "consider redirecting these funds towards research and programs that would expedite English-language acquisition and increase English-language proficiency and assimilation." 'A shared language binds Americans together, transcending different backgrounds to create a common foundation for public discourse, government operations, and civic life, while leaving ample room for the vibrant linguistic diversity that thrives in private and community spheres,' Bondi wrote in the memo. Despite Trump's executive order, the U.S. has no standing law establishing English as the national language. Responding to Bondi's memo, the U.S. Treasury Department — which oversees the IRS — wrote in email responses on Sunday that the IRS would have to reevaluate its "commitment to assist non-English speaking taxpayers understand their tax obligations." The agency currently has a policy in place requiring it to serve "those who lack a full command of the English language." The Treasury also noted it would have to decide if it would keep all of its translations for more than 100 financial forms in Spanish and other languages, as well as free phone and in-person translation services. The IRS also maintains a multilingual website and Spanish-language social media accounts and programs. The move comes at a time when some non-English speaking taxpayers are fearful that the IRS may cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in its ongoing efforts to find undocumented immigrants and deport them. That fear has reportedly led to severe drops in tax compliance among immigrant communities in some parts of the country. The IRS has already renewed its contract for phone interpreter services, according to two people familiar with the issue who spoke to The Washington Post. That contract was deemed necessary by senior IRS and Treasury Department officials after DOGE demanded it review all of its contacts. The interpreter service contract was only extended for a few months and will expire before the end of the year.

Lammy and Healey to sign bilateral Aukus deal during trip to Australia
The UK will sign a new 50-year bilateral Aukus treaty with Australia as the Foreign and Defence Secretaries visit the country on Friday. David Lammy and John Healey will meet their counterparts at the annual Australia-UK ministerial meeting, or Aukmin, in Sydney, and then travel on to Melbourne to meet businesses involved in the Aukus submarine programme. They will also visit Darwin as the Carrier Strike Group docks in the Northern Territory. The Aukus partnership between the UK, US and Australia involves building nuclear-powered attack submarines – including Australia acquiring its first such fleet – and co-operating in other areas of defence. It was agreed by the three countries in 2021, but the Trump administration has put it under review, raising fears it could pull out. The deal now being signed by the UK and Australia sets out the bilateral aspects of the partnership and how the two countries will work together to deliver their Aukus submarine programmes over the next half century. Defence Secretary Mr Healey said: 'Aukus is one of Britain's most important defence partnerships, strengthening global security while driving growth at home. 'This historic treaty confirms our Aukus commitment for the next half century.' He said people 'not yet born' will benefit from jobs secured through the deal. More than 21,000 people in the UK are expected to be working on the programme at its peak. Foreign Secretary Mr Lammy said the UK-Australia relationship is 'like no other'. He added: 'In our increasingly volatile and dangerous world, our anchoring friendship has real impact in the protection of global peace and prosperity. 'Our new bilateral Aukus treaty is an embodiment of that – safeguarding a free and open Indo-Pacific whilst catalysing growth for both our countries.' The UK's Carrier Strike Group – an international formation of Royal Navy warships, submarines and aircraft – has been taking part in the Talisman Sabre military exercise hosted in Australia. The Australia and US-led military exercise involves more than 35,000 military personnel from 19 countries. Shadow defence secretary James Cartlidge said: 'Aukus was a landmark achievement of the last Conservative government and it's essential that Labour keeps up the momentum, including on industrial collaboration. 'We welcome further progress but this must deliver in practice, both in terms of jobs and strengthened mutual security, at a time of heightened threats.'
