Jacinta Price to Run for Australian Senate to Push Back on Left Wing ‘Ideology’
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, the deputy mayor of Alice Springs, in central Australia, has announced that she will run for one of the Northern Territory’s two Senate seats in federal Parliament.
Price will run for the Country Liberal Party (CLP) against Nationals senator Sam McMahon in a bid for the seat, which will pit her against a fellow Coalition member. The Liberal-National coalition form the current Australian government.
“It is nothing personal at all,” Price told The Australian. “I have the respect of many Coalition members, both Nationals and Liberal, and I know I can bring … a wealth of knowledge across many different areas, including the plight of marginalised Indigenous Australians.”
Ms Liddle has lived in the area for almost 20 years and said she never had political aspirations until the COVID-19 pandemic began.
She said after watching the hard work that our people did to keep communities safe, and also witnessing the struggles people have gone through over the past 14 months, it was time to put herself forward to try and affect some change. I have done a lot of activism that s been more community and grassroots and asking the hard questions from the outside, she said. Even being so invested in higher education, I was a uni student last year and I have worked in the sector for a long time and seeing the struggles that we went through, it made me want to stand up and do something.

For someone who loves a bit of identity politics it would pay for Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe to get her identities right, according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. Thorpe is an Indigenous woman and in keeping with her green left activism she often raises the spectre of racism and loves a bit of identity politics, he said. She didn t so much attack the laws as attack the Northern Territory attorney-general who she portrays as just another ignorant white male.
Mr Kenny pointed to a video grab of the NT attorney-general responding to Senator Thorpe s criticism of the new juvenile bail laws and her incorrect identification of her own personal profile.

Bernie Finn, the dickhead Liberal MP and Victorian Shadow Assistant Minister for Autism responsible for posting an ableist meme last year, is back again with his terrible attempt at a “joke”.
Back in November, Finn was slammed for his cross-eyed meme of Premier Dan Andrews that had the caption: “If 2020 was a person”. When people in the comments questioned whether the meme would “be considered bullying ‘special’ people”, Finn responded that Dan Andrews was “too bloody special!”.
