‘is this real?’ another Twitter user asked.
The tweet was deleted about an hour later.
Alex Greenwich declined to comment on Latham’s tweet when contacted by Daily Mail Australia.

Up to 500 “Christian” protesters clashed violently with LGBT activists after the latter group arrived at St Michaels Church to protest Latham’s speech, claiming it was “anti-trans”.
The activists alleged that Christians of Matter had thrown stones and bottles at them.
Police said the large crowd also threw glass bottles at the officers. One of the policemen was taken to Canterbury Hospital with injuries to his hand.
The horrific clash was captured on film and showed the Christian group shouting insults at the activists.
At one point, a man is seen throwing a punch into the crowd, only for it to connect to the back of a woman’s head.
Then screaming and crying is heard as a friend wraps his arm around her.
The war of words between the politicians was sparked by a violent clash between “Christian ‘Life Matter’ protesters and gay protesters outside the church where Latham was speaking.”
Latham addressed the juvenile the same night and said the police had advised him not to speak.

I did not see what happened on the front street, but I sincerely convey my best wishes to the injured and thank the police officers involved for their work. No one should take the law into their own hands. Violence in political events is wrong.
Latham stressed that he did not organize the event but had been invited to speak.
