Sack racist Ley. Price for PM

You can’t talk about it. You can’t protest against it. You can’t do anything about it. Woe betide anybody who questions it.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has dumped Jacinta Nampijinpa Price from the frontbench after the controversial Northern Territory senator continued to resist calls to apologise for her remarks about Indian immigrants and refused to endorse Ley’s leadership.

Price’s demotion comes as new research conducted for The Australian Financial Review found that while the cost of living remains the number one issue for voters, concerns about immigration are growing.

Price was commenting on Indian immigration, not immigrants. The MSM’s favourite trick is again on display. You’re a racist.

Except Ms Price is indigenous and has every right to object to the ongoing invasion of her land courtesy of Canberra.

Sacking her for doing this is the real racism. And it is wall-to-wall today in the MSM.

Ley said Price had been given sufficient time and space to apologise for her comments, “which have caused Australians of Indian heritage significant hurt”. Price’s failure to apologise, along with her refusal to support Ley’s leadership when questioned at a press conference on Wednesday, made her position as opposition spokeswoman for the defence industry untenable.

Something very weird is happening in Australia. A clique of immigration maniacs has taken control of public discussion and is now happy to trample all Aussies in favour of all would-be migrants.

To the point where even those who have been here for a 100k years are actively silenced.

PM in waiting Jacinta Price is not backing down.

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, addressing reporters in Perth, said she would not be “silenced” on speaking out about “mass migration”.

She again admitted her controversial comment, suggesting Labor was deliberately prioritising Indian migrants for electoral ends, was “clumsy”.

She however said she had heard from “many members of the Australian community about this, including those who are Australian of Indian heritage” and that there had been “overwhelming outreach … in support of me”.

“Can I just say how grateful I am to those many Australians that have reached out to me, and those that I’ve spoken directly to, particularly from those who are Australians of Indian heritage,” she said.

What a Trumpian candidate Jacinta Price would make. Indigenous, female, and already generating Price Derangement Syndrome.

What should JP say next?

First, she should repeat her Indian comments twice as loudly. Albo is absolutely using Indian immigration to gerrymander. The polling numbers are categorical.

Second, she should add Chinese immigration to the same category. Albo has deliberately crawled to Beijing to capture the Chinese diaspora, not to prosecute the national interest.

Instead of looking after the Chinese diaspora with policies that protect them, such as banning WeChat, Albo has sold them to Beijing so he can wedge the LNP.

There are already eight federal electorates that are heavily Chinese-influenced. If this isn’t addressed soon, we will lose our foreign policy sovereignty completely.

Next up, Price needs to start pounding away at the unmeasured costs of immigration:

  • capital shallowing leading to weak productivity
  • wage suppression
  • crushloaded public services and wrecked state budgets
  • crime
  • environmental destruction
  • housing crises.

She should also co-opt and lead the March for Australia. Giving greater clarity to its underpinnings and motivations would explode its numbers.

These are all core issues for a liberal, and nobody will touch them. If Jacinta takes them on daily, she will start a revolution.
