Controversial broadcaster Alan Jones has thrown his support behind One Nation's Mark Latham, donating money towards his NSW election campaign.

Mr Latham is a regular guest on Jones' popular breakfast radio program and the pair wrote a cookbook together in 2018 - titled Conversations in the Kitchen.

The former Labor leader, who is headlining One Nation's push into NSW politics, said no-one in the Australian media had a "bigger, thoroughly researched interest" in public policy debate than Jones.

"My campaign is honoured to have received his donation support and I aim not to let him and other supporters down as I pursue our policy agenda in NSW Parliament, if elected," he wrote on Twitter on Monday.
