Part 2/8:
One of the key figures involved in this confrontation is Michaelia Cash, the Shadow Foreign Minister. Cash did not hold back as she publicly defended her colleague, Senator Justina Price, asserting that her peer embodies reconciliation and respect for First Nations Australians. Cash urged her colleagues to familiarize themselves with Senator Price’s background and contributions, emphasizing her strong commitment to Indigenous issues.
"I will stand by and respect Senator Justina Nampa Jim Price, who every day has lived and breathed reconciliation in this country. Her father is white, her mother is black. So please don’t ever come into this place again and pontificate to us like you’ve just done," Cash declared passionately.
