SM,

Not racists at all, this women seems to endlessly talk in negative terms when it comes to her own people. As far as I can see Jacinta has done very little to advocate for Aboriginals, being a member of Alice Springs Town Council and in her own words; "More recently, I’ve worked as the Indigenous program director at the Centre for Independent Studies, and I’m a regular on Sky News."

She claims to have a "vision" for Aboriginal people, but does't spell that vision out. It seems to be a vision of unjust assimilation for on white mans terms, and nothing else.

Maybe you can give me a brief on how this woman has worked to improve the lives of her own people

Paul,

Once again you are spouting bollocks. Show me one thing where she denigrates her people!!

The only people she denigrates are the virtue-signalling snowflakes who take offence when people (like Jacinta who are actually in touch with what is happening on the ground) criticise their politically correct but ineffectual policies.

You really are very racist.

<<Jacinta Price was accused of hypocrisy by Steve Hodder Watt, an Aboriginal activist, who published messages in which Price referred to him as "white". In 2020, Price was sued for defamation by Nova Peris, former federal government senator for the NT, who is also Aboriginal. Price had accused Peris of protecting sexual predators while on the television program Studio 10. According to transcripts provided by the Supreme Court of Victoria, Price stated that Peris had been involved with "powerful men who have made it to powerful positions who have never been condemned". Price later apologised to Peris for these remarks.>>

As I said, Jacinta claims to have a "vision" for Aboriginal people,can you tell me what that "vision", involves, I'm yet to see it. I have no problem with her conservatism, but for me she comes across as extremely negative, and offering no alternatives. Maybe it inflates her ego to be a spoiler, and be seen as going against the grain.

She said she is on "Sky" TV, what is she, the token black woman, among all those Anglo conservative males?

Paul,

JP apologised for that and from what I understand the case went no further. However, JP successfully sued the ABC.

"Ms Price began defamation proceedings and lodged documents with the federal court claiming the land council and the ABC had falsely accused her of vilifying Aboriginal people and their culture."

The ABC made a grovelling apology and a cash payout for saying just what you are saying now. I see you still can't come up with a single example. Lying again I see.

"Jacinda Prices, she appears black but she talks hard white."

We absolutely need to give 'first people' a Voice....unless they use it to say things we don't want to hear in which case they need to be silenced asap.

All we need are more activists in Parliament who back their "suggestions" with predictable believer aimed guilt, protest and endless consensus delays.

But can they shift the Aboriginal Embassy from the Old Parliament House lawn to the new Parliament House lawn to be more politically relevant.

Probably too cold and windy.
