The one-time Labor Party president turned anti-Voice campaigner is running in one of the few seats that voted “yes” for the Indigenous body.
Australia’s conservative establishment has mobilised in a bid to secure Nyunggai Warren Mundine, one of the key Indigenous advocates against the Voice to parliament, the prized Sydney seat of Bradfield that the teal movement is hoping to win.
“I truly believe with him as one of our candidates, we have a better shot at winning this next federal election,” Price said in a video sent to party members and obtained by this masthead.But Mundine’s opponents on the left of the party argue the 68-year-old conservative is not the right person to take on a well-funded campaign fromFletcher said late last year that the choice of candidate was up to the party.
Mundine, who could not comment due to party rules about speaking to the media, was the national president of the Labor Party between 2006-07, but quit the organisation in 2012, saying it was “not the party I joined”.
