Mark Latham agrees to pay damages to ABC's Osman Faruqi in defamation case
Mark Latham could be forced to pay out more than $100,000 in legal costs and damages after agreeing to settle defamation proceedings brought against him by the ABC journalist Osman Faruqi.
Faruqi, a former politics editor of pop culture site Junkee and a former Greens candidate, launched his libel action last year after the former leader of the Labor party accused him of “aiding and abetting Islamic terrorism” and fostering “anti-white racism in Australia”.
The comments were made across Latham’s Outsiders webpage, YouTube, the Rebel Media webpage and a post on Facebook.
Faruqi claimed Latham’s comments defamed him by suggesting that he “knowingly assists terrorist fanatics who want to kill innocent people in Australia”.
