Jacinta Price Declares Comeback and Refuses to Apologise for Immigration Remarks

Reports indicate Angus Taylor may restore her to the frontbench.

Overview

  • Price told The Karl Stefanovic Show she is "back" after months on the backbench and said she will not be silenced.
  • She stood by her criticism that Labor favours migrants from certain countries for political gain, calling her earlier phrasing clumsy but refusing to apologise and blaming the ABC for baiting controversy.
  • She accused Liberal colleague Alex Hawke of throwing her under a bus over the furore and said she had a stern conversation with him about calls to apologise.
  • Price reiterated that migrants must adopt Australian values, saying those who do not "don’t bloody well belong here."
  • She criticised Prime Minister Anthony Albanese over what she described as a failure to act decisively in response to protesters she said celebrated the October 7 attacks at the Sydney Opera House.
