The former Labor leader said that he intended to place a "totally blank" ballot in the box, in a 'journalistic' television appearance on the Channel Nine program, 60 Minutes, last night.
According to The Australian newspaper, Latham has reportedly been paid between $10,000 and $15,000 to work as a guest reporter for the program.
But thus far his journalistic career has been fraught with controversy after he 'ambushed' Prime Minister Julia Gillard at the Brisbane Ekka without warning, and asked her if she knew anything about a complaint that had been made about his working for Channel Nine.

Channel Nine later apologised to Ms Gillard for Latham's conduct.
"Mostly, I've been portrayed as the villain," Latham told the audience last night.
"There's one important thing missing from this election campaign, and that's substance," he went on to say.
"The problem is, politics is no longer about policy, no longer about making Australia a better place.
"It's about power, gaining it and then keeping it at all costs."
He deplored the campaign's 'empty slogans' and accused the major parties of "dumbing down politics"
Latham also conducted an interview with former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, who accused Tony Abbott of oganising a slush fund, "which saw my imprisonment" and said of Ms Gillard, "I don't like her and I don't trust her."
Latham also interviewed Greens leader Bob Brown who calmly told him that both political parties had lost their way.
