Today I spoke with the Editor of leading online multicultural news outlet The Australia Today to address concerns from an interview earlier this week.

I want to be clear: I deeply value Australia’s Indian community. My words were never meant to disparage anyone, and I recognise the enormous contribution Indian-Australians make as friends, colleagues, business owners and community leaders.

My concern has always been about the broader pressures of mass migration on housing, infrastructure and families from all backgrounds, not any specific community.

I will always stand alongside our Indian community and every community that makes Australia stronger.

Andrew Clennell reported on Sky News Sunday Agenda that Alex Hawke contacted me following my comments on the ABC last Wednesday afternoon – that we had a conversation.

Let me be absolutely clear: Alex Hawke did not call me, text me, or WhatsApp me at that point.

What actually happened is that Alex Hawke first rang my office – not my direct number – the following morning, on Thursday.

After claiming he couldn’t reach me, he chose instead to berate one of my staff.

He even pressed my staff that if I did not comply with his requests, I may end up like another female member of the Coalition – who I won’t name.

Later that day, I sent him a WhatsApp message to call out his cowardly and inappropriate conduct.

Only after that message did Alex Hawke and I speak on Thursday evening.

If people want to talk about a so-called “woman problem” in the Liberal Party, then it’s this: we don’t stand up for women when they are mistreated by our own colleagues.

Of course, I regret not being clearer in my comments on the ABC last Wednesday.

I know that many Australians of Indian ancestry – and Indian migrants living in Australia – are distressed.

Not only by my comments, but also in reading associated newspaper coverage.

I sought to correct and clarify my comments after the ABC interview.

But I’ve also been disappointed by some media reporting which has been agenda-driven and wrenched my comments from context.

And I’ve had members of the Indian community reach out to me in solidarity.

My comments were 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.

Indian migrants who have come to Australia have a strong record of integration, embracing our values, working hard in many fields of endeavour, and joining the league of loyal Australian citizens.

As Deputy Mayor and Councillor in the Northern Territory, I've helped Indian migrants with visa and citizenship applications. I’ve supported businesses run by Australians on Indian ancestry.

Indeed, my own children are of Indian ancestry.

Our nation has benefitted from a non-discriminatory migration policy – a policy that has bipartisan support.

We all recognise the important role that migration has played in building our nation. We all recognise the contributions that so many migrants have made over many generations – migrants who have become cherished Australian citizens.

Indeed, a defining national achievement has been the weaving together of the Indigenous, British, and broader migrant threads of our story. Each bestows an inheritance.

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.

Labor has opened the migration floodgates. It has brought in a record 1.2 million people in its first term.
Yes, we need migration.

But there’s a big difference between controlled, planned, and sustainable migration on the one hand. And uncontrolled, unplanned, and unsustainable migration on the other hand.

Migration at the current scale and pace is putting excessive pressures on housing, infrastructure and services.
And that makes life tougher for everyone. And not just for Australian citizens. But for recently arrived migrants and permanent residents who want to join Team Australia too.

Reducing mass migration means more housing, less congestion, better services – and that benefits 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.

So, I will continue to speak up with courage on the ramifications of mass migration in the interest of all families and the nation.

Senator Jacinta Price’s comments about Indian Australians were not racist in any way, and she should not apologise to anyone. Her observations about Australia’s changing demographics are grounded in real world observations and, importantly, data.

The overreaction to her remarks about Labor essentially importing Indian voters is evident in the obsessive demands for an apology to appease Indian Australians from the left, the mainstream media, and some so called conservatives.
The pile on from certain Indian community “leaders” should be ignored. These political groups sense an opportunity to pit major parties against each other on this issue, advancing their own self interests. While it’s hard to entirely blame them, as Labor, the Liberal Party, and the media encourage this behavior, I argue it’s a shrewd, calculated move to exert soft power over Australia’s national interests.

I believe a broader discussion on this topic is warranted. Although Labor currently seems to have captured the Indian Australian voter base, many in this group likely share a more conservative outlook on political issues and life in general. The Liberal party clearly wants some of this vote , however, the allure of victimhood offered by Labor, especially for those claiming to represent these groups politically, is currently too intoxicating.

I think Jacinta Price is showing leadership by willing to tackle these types of topics head on, even if it wasn't really her intention when making the passing remarks.

I say all of this of course as an  Australian with subcontinental heritage, I believe Senator Jacinta Price did a great service for Australia by opposing Labor and Albanese’s push for racial apartheid during the Voice debate. As an Indigenous Australian she worked to ensure that Indian Australians, and of course all other Australians would not be relegated to second class citizens in this country.

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.

And then...

Hmm...passing strange that up until the actual sacking of JNP from the Shadow Frontbench, there was no MSM (or Liberal bed wetters) commentary or recognition, about any of Jacinta's proactive attempts to ensure her comments about Indian migrants had not caused serious offence to the Indian diaspora, merely comments attempting to open up the debate on the serious issues caused by Albo's mass migration program?? Plus why did it take SS.Ley so long to nip this whole pointless and frankly irrelevant political bunfight in the bud?? - 

TICK TOCK goes the SS.Ley doomsday clock!! 

From JNP today, via AP email:

Dear P2,

You’ve probably seen the news.

But before I get into it, I want to make one thing clear.

I’ll never stop fighting for you.

When it comes to the important issues that are deeply affecting Australians everywhere, of all backgrounds, of all persuasions – I will never, ever stop speaking out for you.

On Wednesday, I spoke with the Liberal leader Sussan Ley, who asked me to step down from the shadow ministry.

I did. I also said again I wished I’d been clearer in my comments on the ABC.

But make no mistake, when it comes to the important debates we have to have, I won’t be silent.

I will never stop speaking about the issues that matter most, no matter how unfashionable they might seem to the media and elites.

Because I care about Australia, the country I love dearly.

I care about Australians – every single one of them.

I care about you.

And I care about pursuing the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Because Australians are struggling, and to fix a nation that is broken, we need to have uncomfortable conversations.

Now is the time to have the difficult debates.

Thanks in part to mass immigration, Australians have seen their life become more expensive, more difficult, more stressful.

Housing and renting is now extraordinarily expensive, pushing people into worse living situations, into paying out more every week, and even into homelessness.

Labor’s massive immigration increase has strained our roads, hospitals and police services.

As I said in my statement, my concern – the same as it is for millions of Australians – is Labor’s mass migration agenda and its ramifications.

Migration itself is not the concern – it’s the magnitude of migration.

Anthony Albanese has brought in too many people, in too short a time span.

This is creating problems, and we need to be able to discuss them.

I intend to do exactly that.

But it’s not just immigration – the reality is that there are more and more issues showing up in our country every day that we need to speak out about.

Net Zero is costing us our country and needs to end.

Indigenous communities struggle, while real solutions are ignored for woke solutions.

There are so many battles to be fought in Australia.

But when I think of the road ahead, I think of the men and women in uniform I met as Shadow Minister for Defence Industry and Defence Personnel.

Patriotic Australians willing to put their lives on the line for the defence of our country.

No matter the threat, no matter the obstacles, they are willing to do what needs to be done.

That is the bravery we need to always hold in our hearts.

Now more than ever.

Yours for REAL solutions,



Jacinta Nampijinpa Price
Senator for the Northern Territory

P.S. Most of all, I just want to say thank you. You’ve been there by my side when Australia has needed you the most and now is no different. You and I are going to do great things together and please know that I appreciate it.

MTF...P2
