Australian Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price was sacked from her shadow ministry on September 10th by Opposition Leader Sussan Ley. Price, a senator for the Northern Territory from the centre-right Liberal party, was dismissed for making "deeply hurtful" comments about Indian immigrants and for refusing to endorse her leadership. She had singled out Indian immigrants during a radio interview last week.
Ms Price, who held the portfolios of defence industry and defence personnel in the shadow Cabinet, steadfastly refused to apologise for her remarks. This refusal came despite widespread condemnation from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, members of her own party, and the Indian community. Her comments were deemed "wrong and should not have been made" by Ms Ley.
Ms Ley stated that she sought Ms Price’s resignation because the senator had "failed the test" of high standards expected of a shadow minister, specifically noting her failure to offer an apology despite being given ample opportunity. In response, Ms Price issued a statement accepting Ms Ley’s decision, emphasising that her intention was not to disparage the Indian community, but rather to raise concerns regarding "the magnitude of migration".
