Jacinta Nampijimpa Price speech to Australia National Press Club, 13 September

Jacinta Price. Powerful speech. Persuasive. For the No campaign (in the Voice referendum).

The other day it was a speech by Marcia Langton for the Yes side. 

If I’m going to go with one or the other I go with Jacinta. Langton blotted her copybook, and the Yes campaign, by some ill-judged comments on racism and “stupidity” by the No campaign. 

Jacinta says that blaming others for problems in the indigenous community is to accept victimhood culture. Where it’s always someone else’s fault. That takes agency away from First Nations people. It’s wrong to say “you’re being opressed and no matter what you do you can’t succeed”. That’s a very negative message which only perpetuates failures in the indigenous community.

She talks of the misogyny in the indigenous community. Which has been hidden by the insistence on the racial narrative. Parliament, specifically PM Albanese, refuses to listen to issues we have in the indigenous community around domestic violence. Because they are in thrall to the indigenous victim industry. 

She says: we already have a voice. What we need is for parliament to LISTEN.

Powerful, Persuasive Price. Jacinta for PM !!
