The West Australian and ABC Australia report that an apprehended violence order (AVO) application against former Labor leader and NSW independent MP Mark Latham has been withdrawn by his former partner. According to both outlets, the application was initiated by Latham’s ex-partner and was made to the court as a private AVO matter. Both reports indicate that the court application is no longer proceeding because it has been thrown out or withdrawn. The coverage is consistent in describing the action as the withdrawal of the AVO application rather than a contested hearing outcome. Neither source provides additional details in the brief summaries about the underlying allegations, the reasons for withdrawing the application, or whether the withdrawal affects any other related legal proceedings. Overall, the reports agree on the key point that the AVO application brought by Latham’s former partner does not continue, reflecting that the matter has been withdrawn by the applicant.
