Jacinta Nampijinpa Price had been in the federal parliament for less than a year when, as the Coalition’s new spokesperson on Indigenous affairs, she confronted the proposal for the most significant reform in Indigenous affairs since 1967.
Senator Price’s arguments against the Indigenous voice to parliament were potent, characterising it as another layer of bureaucracy. This was devastating for the Yes campaign in the voice referendum because Australians could see how ineffective bureaucracy had been in the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Senator Price once worked as a cross-cultural adviser and is seen by many as a bridge between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous worlds. She describes herself with pride as Warlpiri-Celtic and has become a figure in the national debate about Indigenous history.
Senator Price has brought national attention to violence, youth crime, social breakdown and alcohol abuse in Alice Springs, where she grew up. The town’s problems have become ground zero for a debate about policy failure, personal responsibility and child welfare.
