A few words from the lady I hope will be our first indigenous Prime Minister.

Jacinta Nampajinpa Price on the A-Day haters:

As you and I were celebrating our wonderful country with family and friends, the inner-city elites were marching in the streets, setting Australian flags on fire, demanding we cancel Australia Day. In stark contrast, Alice Springs – my home town – was on fire with crime and violence. Forget “Invasion Day” – my neighbours are more worried about home invasions…

Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney has rolled up to complain that if only we had a Voice to Parliament we could have stopped this earlier. What a crock. Let me tell you, Linda, I am Indigenous. I’m from the Northern Territory. I have a voice. I am literally in the Parliament. And you didn’t listen.

Short read, strong message.
