One Nation leader Mark Latham has called for the defunding of the LGBTQIA+  performance and research enterprise the Department of Homo Affairs (DOHA), which has been operating from the Sydney Powerhouse museum free of charge.

Latham on Thursday said that while there are lots of pressing needs around the state, starting with flood relief, the government has “wasted money” on funding with taxpayer resources outfits that are “completely political, and unnecessary.”
