An Aboriginal Senate candidate has slammed Australians who falsely claim to be Indigenous, pointing out this deprives needy people in remote areas of help. Alice Springs Deputy Mayor Jacinta Price has spoken out against the rising trend of white people lying about being Indigenous on government forms, as identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander becomes more politically fashionable. It just shows a level of ignorance. It s not doing marginalised Indigenous people a favour whatsoever, she told Sky News host Rita Panahi. This is all very self-driven. There s a lot of people in this country who feel bad for being white and this is another issue that needs to be addressed.
