Shadow Indigenous Australians minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has blasted the Greens’ bill to establish a Truth and Justice Commission, saying the party is “hellbent on pushing ideology”.
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has unleashed on the Greens for pushing Australia “down a path of division” by proposing a new Voice-style Indigenous body.

The Albanese government promised $27 million at the last federal election towards the commission, with $5.8 being put aside in the 2022 budget to begin setting it up. “They haven't been clear with the Australian people, but they need to come clean on what they intend to do in terms of the truth-telling commission that they said they still support, whether it's to the Greens, whether it's some other measures that they haven't revealed yet,” she said.
