The ‘No’ campaigner awkwardly fell backwards after sitting down on a plastic chair.
He walked away from the incident uninjured.
Mr Latham was joined at the debate by Australian Christian Lobby managing director Lyle Shelton, The Daily Telegraph’s Miranda Devine and Christine Forster.
Mr Latham said the freedom of Australians is at stake and a number of people have been prosecuted for their support on traditional marriage.
A ‘snap poll’ by Roy Morgan revealed that 61.5 per cent of Aussies have voted Yes, 17.5 per cent voted no, and the rest have not yet responded.
Roy Morgan also reported that voters in the younger age bracket are more likely to vote Yes – more than 80 per cent of Aussies aged 18-24 are in favour of marriage equality.

Conversely, only 48.5 per cent of Australian older than 65 supported same-sex marriage.
Both sides of the debate have been holding rallies as part of the $122 million survey, with the Marriage Equality Campaign throwing a ‘Post Your Yes’ rally in Taylor Square last weekend headlined by John Paul Young and Ricki-Lee Coulter.
Meanwhile, the campaign against same-sex marriage featuring conservative senators such as Corey Bernardi and Matt Canavan spoke at a rally International Conference Centre at Darling Harbour.
Approximately 1000 attendees, mostly aged in the 60+ age bracket, wore shirts and held placards bearing the slogan ‘It’s okay to say no’.
