Login I m here to smash the narrative of the left on the Indigenous: Jacinta Price27/06/2021|10min
Alice Springs Deputy Mayor Jacinta Price says she is here to smash the narrative of the left that say Indigenous Australians are constantly victims and those on the left are their champions .
The remarks come amid Ms Price unseating Senator Sam McMahon as the Country Liberal Party s top Senate candidate in the Northern Territory.
Ms Price said the left always push a particular narrative and want Aboriginal people to feel hard done by so they can point the finger at who they think are the perpetrators and claim to be our champions when they are not.

In March, three Indigenous women flew to Canberra in an attempt to draw attention to a horror story playing out in their communities. These were Alice Springs Deputy Mayor Jacinta Price; and Cheron and Meesha Long, cousins of 15-year-old Layla Leering, who died in 2017 after apparently being sexually assaulted in the Northern Territory. Layla’s death along with that of two other girls, Fionica Yarranganlagi James and Keturah Cheralyn Mamarika has been the subject of a coroner’s inquest, and has brought renewed attention to the threat that Indigenous girls and women face within their own communities. Unfortunately, the scope of that attention has been limited, because the narrative of intra-Indigenous abuse is seen as unfashionable to report.
ABC Apologises for Broadcasting ‘False and Defamatory’ Views of Jacinta Price
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has apologised to Alice Springs Deputy Mayor Jacinta Price for broadcasting “false and defamatory” views on two local radio services in September 2019 during her Mind the Gap speaking tour.
Price claimed the Coffs Harbour & District Local Aboriginal Land Councils and the ABC had falsely accused her of vilifying Aboriginal people and their culture.
The ABC issued a public apology on April 7, admitting that on Sept. 11, 2019, its Coffs Coast and Alice Springs stations broadcast radio segments about Price’s speaking tour and local reactions to it in Coffs Harbour. The reactions included a media release put out by the local Aboriginal Land Council.
