Bitter ex-politician Mark Latham has published an offensive and ignorant tweet about Indigenous singer Dr G Yunupingu on the day of his memorial.
Latham said, “I’m betting if I walked down main street Campbelltown or Penrith (love them both) and asked abt Dr G Yunupinguy big majority would not know.”

Earlier he posted:
“I don’t know a single person who had ever heard of Dr G Yunupingu Why is the ABC obsessed with farewelling this guy who passed away in July?”

Latham turned into a nasty, bitter little person after failing to succeed in his political career.
The attack on the great Australian is gobsmacking considering the international reputation of Dr Yunupingi, including his admiration by superstars such as Sir Elton John and Sting.
Dr Yunupingu has performed for President Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II. He died on 27 July 2017.
