`TV reporter` Latham confronts Gillard

After following her for much of the day, former Labor leader-turned-journalist Mark
Latham has clashed with Prime Minister Julia Gillard on the campaign trail.
The confrontation occurred as Ms Gillard was doing the rounds and meeting patrons at
Brisbane's Ekka show on Saturday.
Mr Latham, who is producing a segment for the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program,
approached Ms Gillard and asked why Labor had complained to the network about his
presence.
A smiling Ms Gillard responded: "I don't know anything about that, Mark.
"If you want to work for Channel Nine, that's a matter for you."
Mr Latham then suggested his one-time Labor ally speak out against former prime
minister Kevin Rudd for trying to sabotage her campaign.
"Have a dig at him," he told her.
But Ms Gillard merely laughed and wished him well with his journalistic endeavours.
An ALP spokesman later denied the party had made any complaint to the Nine Network.
The Nine Network had not responded to inquiries as to whether a complaint was made.
Mr Latham's appearance with the press pack has caused a stir, with curious
journalists peppering him with questions during an impromptu media conference
earlier on Saturday.
The former Labor leader was reluctant to answer the questions, telling them they
would have to wait to see his story when it goes to air.
