Senator Nampijinpa Price faces political irrelevancy : Comments

By Scott Prasser, published 12/9/2025

Because Price failed to make a clear and immediate apology, a minor misstep became a public display of Coalition disunity.

Any country whose top 3 sources of immigrants are India, China and the Philippines is in serious trouble. People more like us locals don't want to come here any more because they know that Australia is as bad, and getting worse, than the UK, Europe etc when it comes to Third World invaders. People with money seem to be attracted by the United Arab Emerites.

The Coalition are now conservative social justice warriors
Susan Ley demanding Price give an apology, then gives one herself.
Did Jacinta Price break any laws?
They all act as if she did, think about that.

There is nothing 'conservative' about the Liberal Party; it has gone the way of the UK Tories. While there is some hope for the UK in the shape of Reform, there is nothing good on the horizon for Australia.

It is absurd to think that a party calling itself the 'Liberal Party' could ever be conservative. It's only the extreme Leftists who think being slightly to right of their own Marxist ideology makes you conservative.

If the Liberals and the Nationals were - as a whole, not just a very few of their individual members - conservative, they would be in government now.

Conservatives don't throw one of their own to the wolves, arrogantly apologise for her, and suck up to minorities, while ignoring the majority.

Jacinta Price is increasingly proving to be an embarrassment and liability to the Liberals. She’s squandering the political capital she built during the Voice referendum by alienating communities, destabilising the Coalition, and refusing to show even basic political maturity - like apologising when her framing causes legitimate concern.

This isn’t about suppressing opinions. It’s about understanding the difference between speaking plainly and speaking recklessly. Price wasn’t attacked for opposing Labor’s immigration policy, she was criticised because she framed it in a way that echoed conspiracy theories about “ethnic vote-stacking,” which will understandably offend people, even if that wasn’t her intent.

Instead of clarifying and moving forward, she doubled down, attacked her own colleagues, and helped turn what should have been a critique of Labor into another Liberal implosion. The Coalition desperately needs to look like a credible alternative. Price is making that harder, not easier.

There’s a lesson in John Howard’s trajectory - not because he was perfect, but because he learned that message discipline, team loyalty, and strategic humility matter in politics. If Price can't grasp that, she may soon find herself with an adoring fan base, but no influence, just like every other populist backbencher who refused to learn the difference between heat and light.

This is a scenario resulting from the educating of people who can't be educated & people who don't get educated yet have the common sense to see all the wrong & observe the discrimination dished out by the incompetent !
Now is the time to start restoring common sense ! Now is the time to start bringing back the requirement of merit !
Now is the time to apply the brakes to the bandwagon of the fake "qualified".

If Price can't grasp that..
John Daysh,
Spoken like a true bureaucrat. What you need to admit is that this artificial complexity of jargon & other babble in the circles within the the corridors of power is what brought us to this situation.
Ordinary people can see the incompetence dished out by the "experts" & the costs their antics incur economically & socially !
Ordinary people have merit, the elitists have none ! Nothing that people need on a daily basis is provided by elitists, only by ordinary people.
