Sky News host Andrew Bolt has hailed Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s “stunning” speech in the National Press Club, saying it could mark a “turning point” for race relations in Australia. The shadow minister fronted the press gallery just one week after Indigenous leader Professor Marcia Langton. Mr Bolt criticised Professor Langton’s “old race politics of the left”, comparing her comments with Ms Price’s call for a new era. “Price, of course, countered the lies of the Yes campaign,” he said. “It's false to say Aborigines don’t already have a voice. Look, for instance, at the 11 people in federal parliament who identify as Aboriginal. “No, it’s false to say this Voice would just give advice – in fact, the word advice is nowhere in the words we'll be voting on.”

‘Voice is flawed, built on lies’: Jacinta Price slams Labor’s referendumIndigenous Australians Shadow Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price says the Labor’s Voice to Parliament is “flawed” and is “built on lies”. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price addressed the National Press Club Thursday afternoon, detailing why she is against the Voice referendum and explained why the referendum would only further 'divide the nation”. “The first lie that underpins the Voice is that Indigenous Australians do not have a voice,” Ms Price said at the National Press Club on Thursday. “We’ve been told by the Indigenous minister for Indigenous Australians that Indigenous people do not get a say on policies or the decisions being made on our behalf. “Our most marginalised deserve better than this; they deserve the truth, the unvarnished, untainted and yes maybe unpalatable to some people, truth.”
