SENATOR JACINTA NAMPIJINPA PRICE
SENATOR FOR THE NORTHERN TERRITORY
STATEMENT
This evening, I spoke with the Leader of the Federal Liberal Party and Federal Opposition, Sussan Ley, who has asked me to step down from the shadow ministry.
I have accepted the Leader’s decision. And I reiterated my regret in not being clearer in my comments on the ABC last Wednesday.
Nevertheless, I took the opportunity to express to the Leader my disappointment that some colleagues disregarded the key point I was making about the damaging impacts of mass migration. And that some colleagues instead chose to indulge agenda-driven media commentary on this matter.
To reiterate comments from my earlier statement: I never intended to be disparaging towards our Indian community. And I wish no ill-will whatsoever to the Indian community – or any other migrant group.
My concern – as it is for millions of Australians – is Labor’s mass migration agenda and its ramifications. My concern is not migration itself – it’s the magnitude of migration. Migration at the current scale and pace is putting excessive pressures on housing, infrastructure and services. And that makes life tougher for all families. I want to see a better life for all families – whether you’re a migrant, a resident, or a citizen – and regardless of your background.
This has been a disappointing episode for the Liberal Party. I will learn from it. I’m sure others will too. No individual is bigger than a party. And I’m sure events of the past week will ultimately make our party stronger.
Although my time as the Shadow Minister for Defence Industry and Defence Personnel has been cut short, it has been an honour to serve in the shadow defence portfolio.
I was incredibly proud to see officers graduate from the Royal Military College, Duntroon – young, patriotic Australians who embody the virtue of service which makes our country tick. I was inspired by the ingenuity of Australian businesses which have such determination and capacity to produce the weapons our country needs – at speed and scale – to help deter aggression and defend our nation’s interests. And I was honoured to meet with the Ambassadors of Israel and Ukraine and express the Coalition’s support for two countries that are on the frontline of the battle of civilisation against barbarity and tyranny.
Thanks also to my defence portfolio colleagues – Angus Taylor, Phillip Thompson and Darren Chester – who are doing a sterling job in holding the Albanese Government to account.
I also want to express my gratitude to the following: to those members of the Indian community who have reached out to me in solidarity; to those colleagues who have stood by side; and to the thousands of Australians who have had my back and sent me messages of support.
Although I will be returning to the backbench, I will continue to speak up on issues which are in the national interest and that are important to millions of Australians.
Be that on Indigenous issues: The plight of those in remote communities. The ongoing romanticisation of traditional culture that inhibits addressing the root causes of Indigenous violence today. The ineffectiveness of bloated bureaucracies that have done nothing to “close the gap”. And the need to push back against activists who, ignoring the referendum outcome and the will of the Australian people, march on with the goals of segregation and reparations under the guise of that Orwellian phrase “truth-telling”.
Or be that on other policy issues: The ramifications of mass migration. The economically immiserating and freedom eroding policy of Net Zero. The indoctrination of children in our classrooms that engenders national guilt and inhibits national pride. The Albanese Government’s determination to move Australia away from a free-market economy and towards a state-directed and controlled economy – having embraced the same statist ideas that have devastated economies and people wherever and whenever they’ve been implemented. And the Chinese Communist Party’s military aggression in our region and its foreign interference in our country that presents a great danger of our age.
Our remarkable country is weaker, worse off and more divided than it has ever been due to the actions of the Albanese Labor Government. In tough times for our nation, it’s a time for courage, for conviction and for truth if we are to reverse Australia’s decline and advance Australia again.

I have no words. I don't understand how to live in a world where someone would take a father away from his young children for having a different opinion.
When this madness ends, which it will, one of the ugliest things to look back on will be how women weren't even allowed to the dignity of owning their sex-specific trauma. The misogyny is simply breathtaking.
Congratulations to the QLD Liberal National Party on voting to abandon net zero!
They join the Western Australian, South Australian and Northern Territory Liberals.
The tide is turning.
Australia contributes just over 1 per cent of global emissions.
And reaching net zero could cost a staggering $7–9 trillion – as estimated by independent experts.
Net zero is an absurd policy that will impoverish and de-industrialise our nation to achieve an emissions reduction target that, in an Australian context, will not alter global temperatures one iota.
Net zero is not just an energy policy that will cause your power bills to keep going up.
It's about the government dictating how you and your family should live, what you should drive, and what you should eat.
It’s about telling businesses how to operate.
It’s about restricting what our farmers can produce and what our manufacturers can make.
Net zero is another mechanism for Labor to move Australia away from a free-market economy and towards a state-directed and controlled economy.
Net zero is about reducing your freedom.
It's time we pushed back against this freedom-eroding nonsense.
@LawyerYouKnow I live in Australia and the coldest place I've stayed was a small town called Deepwater.
All the water in the pipes in the pub and motel froze, including the toilet water in the pub, it was -16°c!
Unpopular opinion 4 trillion 536:
I used to think “internalized misogyny” was just a silencing convention employed by angry feminists to shame women whose opinions they couldn’t control or understand.
But the more I watch countless women fawning over pornsick men like Dylan Mulvaney (Tampax guy) and his facial feminization surgery, insisting that he’s stunning when he actually looks like post-op Michael Jackson, the more I start to think there must be some form of self-loathing involved to make them this desperate to be seen as “loving” and ”inclusive.”
It’s not “kindness” to indulge someone’s delusion. It’s about as loving as agreeing with an anorexic’s deeply held belief that she is morbidly obese.
Sisters, you do not need to cheerlead your own erasure. It’s ok to say “no.”
Not a good look for Yes23 whichever way you look at this. The denial makes it worse. Anyone seen more of this video? Albo’s divisive Voice. https://t.co/KZN5KnBiYx
"When I asked my 11-year-old son to help me unload dirt from our small pickup into his mother’s new garden boxes, his reaction was typical.
“Ummmm… I’m busy right now,” He said.
He was playing Roblock on the family laptop, wearing sweat pants and an old T-shirt, lounging on the sofa, feet on the coffee table.
“No you’re not,” I said.
There was a fight, moaning, excuses... the usual.
Moments later, we were next to a wheelbarrow shoveling dirt. He looked at me with flat eyes, his hood up, shoulders slumped, and said, “Why do we have to do this?”
I thought for a moment, because I’ll admit, it was a valid question. Neither of us were all that into flowers or vegetables, or any of the things that would be grown in those garden boxes. But my wife, Mel, loves gardening.
I thought, and he waited, and finally I said, “When you love someone, you serve them.”
I went on, telling him that I want him to grow up to be the kind of man who serves his family, friends, and community.
“This” I said while gesturing to the dirt, and the garden boxes I built the weekend before, and the wheelbarrow and shovel, and the first of many truckloads of dirt we would unload over the next few weeks, “Is what love looks like.”
He didn’t like my answer. I could see it in the way he reluctantly picked his shovel back up.
We finished unloading the dirt. The next day, while I was at work, and the kids and Mel had the day off because it was between terms, Mel sent me this picture. Mel picked up another load of dirt and before she had a chance to unload it, Tristan voluntarily started working. When she asked him “why,” he shrugged and said, “Because I love you.”
I’d never been prouder of my son."

If transgenderism is not a disorder or illness, why does it require "life-saving" medical intervention?
I've also never seen something that requires drastic medical intervention so celebrated
It's not considered "living authentically" or "being your true self" when you receive treatment for any other terminal illness.
