Jacinta Price Sacked from Front Bench

[Black Orchid]

Liberal senator Jacinta Price has refused to back Sussan Ley’s leadership amid fierce fallout over her comments that Labor was allowing in higher levels of Indian migrants to boost their vote.

She continued to defy pressure on her to apologise for the comments, despite calls from Anthony Albanese and comments from NSW Liberal leader Mark Speakman and shadow Attorney-General Julian Leeser.

Instead, the Northern Territory senator raised concerns on Sussan Ley’s leadership on Wednesday.

Asked directly whether she had “confidence” in Ms Ley’s leadership, Senator Price sidestepped the query, and continued to do so despite repeated follow ups to the yes or no question.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has sacked firebrand Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price from the Coalition’s frontbench following a week of infighting in the Liberal Party over her inflammatory comments about Indian migrants.

Price confirmed her dismissal from her role as the opposition’s defence industry spokeswoman in a statement on Wednesday night, saying: “This evening, I spoke with the Leader of the federal Liberal Party and federal opposition, Sussan Ley, who has asked me to step down from the shadow ministry.

“I have accepted the Leader’s decision. And I reiterated my regret in not being clearer in my comments on the ABC last Wednesday.”

The person who should be sacked is Sussan Ley. She won't last long imo.

I agree that Sussan Ley was not the best pick for Leader. She was definitely chosen simply because she was a woman and that was supposed to appeal to the female conservative voters who they believe have left the party in droves for the Teals who are mainly female.

However I always believe that the best person should be chosen for the job regardless of their gender. And the person I would prefer to lead the party is Andrew Hastie.

I won't forgive Susan Ley for sacking Jacinta for speaking the truth. Susan was never the right fit for leadership, truth be known, she has dumped Jacinta because she feels threatened by her.
Jacinta is both female and Aboriginal, Susan's just female and a rather lacklustre pick at that.

Susan gives me Malcolm Turnbull and Julia Bishop vibes.
She's not a true blue Liberal.

Conservative Jacinta Price's dramatic removal from Liberal leadership raises questions about the party's willingness to challenge Labor on fundamental issues

I think Jacinta Price should start her own party. Along with Warren Mundine.

The only other party that aligns itself with what most Aussies hold dear (in opposition to the Lib/Lab uniparty) is Pauline Hanson's One Nation and unfortunately Pauline isn't widely respected.

Pauline made a huge mistake sacking Mark Latham and as much as I intensely disliked his thuggish and boorish manner when he was leader of the opposition against Howard he's come a long way since those days, has grown up and his views on the future of Australia resonate with more and more people.

Personally, I can't stand Pauline but I could certainly get behind Jacinta Price. Sussan Ley is NEVER going to be PM. She is only going to lead the Libs into the wilderness.

Liberals are now at their lowest rating in recorded history.

Liberals are now at their lowest rating in recorded history.

Our country feels like a runaway freight train destined for catastrophe. Politically , socially ,financially which is ruining this country. Is breaking us apart. Is this the end goal?

From a China perspective, I think it might be, and they've likely told the EU that they can contend with the destruction of their once beautiful historical cities, Rome, Paris, Barcelona etc, or hand over Australia.

Great Britain , our mother country appears to be selling us out, better us than them, right?
Call it collateral damage, and this has worsened since Covid.... a global pandemic that's resulted in a global financial crisis impacting every nation across the world.
Australia as the EUs answer to net-zero, a human dumping ground whereby achieving this is only possible for those countries capable of paying other nations to take their share of refugees.
If reducing carbon emissions and reaching net zero is so urgent, then why are we immigrating contrary to this and unsustainably so?




In the last few weeks, Ballarat has felt significantly more multicultural than ever, and whilst most of them usually leave eventually anyway, given Ballarat isn't considered an ideal place to lob hundreds of refugees/immigrants given to the local demographic being rather unwelcoming and astute to the negative impacts of unsustainable ( irasponsible) immigration...they generally stay a few months, perhaps a year then leave for Melbourne where they feel more connected and welcomed by the community at large.

I honestly feel terrible for them, and I made two significant pit-stops today whereby I was out within my community discussing this very thing.

I was speaking to a lovely African mother and her incredibly well behaved children under 5 at our community health care centre ( I had GP appointment) and she was absolutely delightful and her incredibly well behaved children were also. They sat next to their mother, one either side and I was directly next to one of her sweet boys , around 4, the other 3. Not much between them, may have even been twins but I can tell you now, if that was my youngest child at their same ages, she would have been demanding technology, a book, and or something she could draw on, ie colouring pencils, and if not in her stroller, she'd have been running around the practice with me trailing after her trying desperately to pass the time until it was our turn. No, these two kid's were incredibly well behaved at such young ages.
They sat on their chairs merely looking around and didn't move an inch or even say an audible word until they were called to see whatever professional they were there to see. ( An hour passed very quickly, I enjoyed chatting with their mother).

I have also been privileged enough to have worked with numerous immigrants both in a volunteer and professional capacity across my entire working life and their kids are usually extremely well behaved, if anything, it's like extracting teeth encouraging them to engage enthusiastically in a learning environment because they are often shy, trying to learn English at the same time and are taught NOT to be outspoken at school or in public places fullstop at home.

Then whilst on my way to the pharmacy afterwards, I saw a massive * scoff * group of "four" 4 caucasian seniors wielding LARGE protest signs and wearing pro- refugee tshirts speaking to one other fellow, in his 50s or 60s I'd say, whom had obviously stopped to chat to them.

Incredibly, I spotted a carapace right there in Sturt Street so I stopped.
I felt the need for the very first time in my life to engage with these people who are pro- refugee, and so much so that they were standing in the cold wind ,prepared to defend their cause.

After stopping my car, I began thinking about the questions I would like to ask them, and whilst sitting there parked in my car pondering all these questions it occurred to me that if these lunatics still hadn't figured out why the vast majority of Australians are unhappy with the current immigration figures, not only in Ballarat, but Australia wide, then there's something else at play here. Either they're using " protesting " as a seniors social group or their fucking mad/dense, and it's pointless talking to them anyway. My intention wasn't to argue with them, I am genuinely puzzled as to why/how they think 4 seniors standing, protesting, in the middle of Sturt Street Ballarat will convince our community that taking in MORE refugees/immigrants/ even students or workers with temporary visas will benefit our city, when it's very clear to most Australians, that you most definitely can have too much of a good thing.

With that, I started my car and went to the pharmacy.
I just felt, "what is the point, if this tiny group haven't twigged yet then there's absolutely nothing that I or anyone could ask them or tell them that would change their point of view.

Has anyone here ever stopped and questioned or had a discussion with a protesting individual/s before?

Because I think I'm going to need a foldup chair and a cut lunch if I'm going to approach these people and ask them the kinds of questions that for whatever reason, they're not asking themselves.

I am even beginning to wonder if these seniors are being paid/ rewarded in some way ( free lunch ) to "StandUp" by political organisations whom like "GetUp" provides free merchandise, meal vouchers and assorted other fringe perks for students who are wanting something interesting to do during Stu-Vac.

If we are to tackle this problem, we need to dig deeper, both in the physical environment and online.

I want to know what drives these people to stand-up for a cause that's clearly destructive towards their own communities and themselves.

And does China take refugees?

I think China believes that if the West is struggling to sustain it's own people, then economally, and mathematically speaking, this only stands to advance their own nations interests.

Unsustainable immigration + anti-social media + AI = A freight train. Ruination!

Particularly for the West, as Free Speech is enshrined and valued rather than policed.

If First Nation's people from Australia to Canada, New Zealand and beyond thought European invasion, colonisation was a burden 200 years ago, I am wondering if they're ready for what the Left ( UN ) have planned for all commonwealth nations?

It's already started, and it's being driven by greed, not empathy, and by nations who's vested interests lie within their own nations prosperity, not ours.

Fair.....

Survival of the fittest afterall and if they can get a leg-up and over us by destroying us with our own beurocracry, technology, political systems itself, then I'd say this was pretty clever,, wouldn't you?
They appear to have Albanese exactly where they need him to be, his goal is to please the almighty UN, and benefit as an individual too of course, but has he and other gullible China- friendly Western politicians, leaders, given any thought to the world they're handing to their own grandchildren?

If only it wasn't happening to US.

We need to turn this freight train around, and historically, I think we all know what this means for us to sustain our West for multiple more generations to come.

Or else, it's over.

Fight or flight?

I think Albanese's starting to wish he'd never entered politics to begin with. The pressure to please 3 corners of a triangle is proving to be impossible for him.

Like the old adage, "You can't please all people all of the time."

Something needs to break.

Jacinta Price was a sacrificial lamb.

She wasn't appointed based on merit to begin with, which was absolutely disgusting, and they likely had all intentions of dumping her once their objective was met anyway, they did the same thing to Pauline Hanson.
She should join ON.

[mellie]

Pauline Hanson has more respect for Indigenous Australians , all Australians regardless of ancestory, so long as they're loyal to Australian values, than our two leading party's Lib-Lab combined. They felt threatened by her undermining their lack of values and selling us off, therefore persecuted her for making this public.
She wasn't employed in their party to think or have opinions apparently, rather was installed to create the illusion of equality.

Political assassination, no?

It's time to demand better Australia, not with violence, hatred or greed, but with respect, love and dignity.

And I'll bet they "borrowed " Jacinta's policies the same way they borrowed Pauline's too.

Just history repeating itself I'm afraid, re- Pauline, I'm suprised they haven't tried to throw Jacinta Price in prison to silence her too.
