Nathalie Matthew, the former partner of controversial NSW MP Mark Latham, has been charged with several revenge-porn-related offences after being arrested at Sydney Airport.
Matthews, 38, was taken into custody after arriving in Sydney on a flight from Dubai about 7am today.
She was taken to Mascot Police Station, where she was charged with one count each of access/modify restricted data held in a computer, intentionally record intimate image without consent, and intentionally distribute intimate image without consent.
Matthews has been refused bail and will appear in Parramatta Local Court tomorrow.
The arrest comes after Matthews made an unrelated private application for an apprehended violence order against Latham in July.
Matthews accused Latham of emotional, psychological and financial manipulation in her filing, as well as pressuring her to participate in depraved acts and driving his car at her.
Latham has strenuously denied the allegations, and police have not laid any charges over them.
The matter is set down for a court hearing next May.
Latham said he has had no contact with Matthews since May 27, when their relationship ended, outside of matters relating to a co-owned harness racing horse and returning belongings to her apartment.
In an unrelated incident, Latham was escorted out of Sydney's Royal Randwick racecourse yesterday.
A spokesperson for the Australian Turf Club told the Sydney Morning Herald that Latham was asked to leave by management during the Epsom Day racing event yesterday afternoon but refused.
Latham has threatened legal action following the incident.

That's an improvement over the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-salary-2025" style="" target="_blank">3.8% growth reported in November</a>, but Quebec is still trailing much of the country when it comes to earnings.</p><p>For comparison, the national average sits at $1,290.82 per week (+5.8% year-over-year), meaning Quebec is about $49 behind. The gap widens even more when looking at provinces like Alberta ($1,339.21 per week) and Ontario ($1,328.24 per week). Meanwhile, the Northwest Territories remain in a league of their own, with salaries averaging $1,835.40 per week (that's more than $95K per year).</p><p>Here's a full breakdown of how Quebec stacks up against other provinces and territories:</p><ul><li><strong>Prince Edward Island</strong> – $1,099.43/week ($57,170 per year)</li><li><strong>Nova Scotia</strong> – $1,135.67/week ($59,050 per year)</li><li><strong>Manitoba</strong> – $1,141.74/week ($59,370 per year)</li><li><strong>New Brunswick</strong> – $1,181.42/week ($61,035 per year)</li><li><strong>Quebec</strong> – $1,241.50/week ($64,558 per year)</li><li><strong>Saskatchewan</strong> – $1,242.31/week ($64,602 per year)</li><li><strong>British Columbia</strong> – $1,289.38/week ($67,047 per year)</li><li><strong>Ontario</strong> – $1,328.24/week ($69,068 per year)</li><li><strong>Alberta</strong> – $1,339.21/week ($69,639 per year)</li><li><strong>Yukon</strong> – $1,452.04/week ($75,506 per year)</li><li><strong>Nunavut</strong> – $1,719.74/week ($89,427 per year)</li><li><strong>Northwest Territories</strong> – $1,835.40/week ($95,441 per year)</li></ul><p>A pay bump is promising, but it doesn't always mean more money in your pocket. Inflation and rising costs continue to chip away at purchasing power. Quebec's job market also grew slightly, hitting 4,086,544 salaried positions in December 2024, though not all sectors are thriving—health care saw strong gains, while retail trade lagged behind.</p><p>Even with higher wages, many Quebecers are still feeling the squeeze — especially in cities like Montreal, where <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal-rent-february-2025" target="_blank">median one-bedroom rent hit $1,710 in February</a> and two-bedrooms climbed 2.8% year over year to $2,220. With the average weekly salary at $1,241.50, a one-bedroom still eats up over half a full-time worker's paycheck, before even factoring in essentials.</p><p>Yet, despite the financial strain, Quebec City, Laval, and Montreal topped a new <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-canada-quality-life-montreal" target="_blank">Statistics Canada ranking for quality of life in big cities</a>. While wages and rent continue their tug-of-war, many Quebecers are still finding reasons to love where they live.</p><em>Love this?
