Firebrand MP Mark Latham has avoided airing dirty laundry in court after his ex-partner abandoned her bid for an apprehended violence order over abuse claims.
Nathalie Matthews, 38, had alleged Mr Latham had subjected her to sustained emotional and physical abuse, but the court application for the order was withdrawn by consent on Wednesday.
Mr Latham's lawyer told reporters outside Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court it was a good result for her client, who was excused from attending.
