Former leader Mark Latham appeals $140,000 defamation award for calling MP "disgusting" in tweet.

Mark Latham, a former opposition leader, is appealing a $140,000 defamation award after sending a "vulgar" tweet calling independent MP Alex Greenwich "disgusting." The tweet, part of an online argument, was deemed defamatory by a Federal Court judge in September. Latham argues the tweet was his fair opinion in response to an earlier attack. Solicitor Zali Burrows is representing Latham in the appeal.
