Central Land Council chief executive says Aboriginal people in Northern Territory ‘do not feel heard’ by Price
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has said there are no negative ongoing impacts of British colonisation on Indigenous Australians, dismissing concerns about intergenerational trauma.
In a wide-ranging speech, Nampijinpa Price criticised Indigenous organisations which she claimed sought to “demonise colonial settlement in its entirety and nurture a national self-loathing about the foundations of modern Australian achievement”. “I’ll be honest with you, I do not think so. A positive impact, absolutely. I mean, now we have running water, readily available food,” she said.
“This relates to any person of any background, but the reality is that Aboriginal children are exposed to all of the factors at a greater rate than any other group of Australian children. Separatism attributing causes to racism and colonisation does little to nothing to address the true causes,” Nampijinpa Price said.

‘I’ve been racially abused’: Jacinta Price opens up while addressing the National Press ClubIndigenous Australians Shadow Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has slammed the Albanese government’s Voice to Parliament saying there is no “genuine appetite” in Canberra to tell the truth or to hear the truth. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price addressed the National Press Club Thursday afternoon and detailed why she is against the Voice to Parliament and explained why the referendum would only further 'divide the nation”. “I’ve been told that by speaking out, by amplifying the voices of the victims and the vulnerable, by bringing attention to the rampant abuse and neglect that I’m repeating the words of the oppressor,” Ms Price said at the National Press Club on Thursday. “I’ve been racially abused, vilified, named called and threatened with violence and why? Because I want to stop children from being abused because I want to stop women and men from being killed. “The truth is for all the moral posturing and virtual signalling about truth-telling there is no genuine appetite in Canberra to tell the truth or to hear the truth.”
