US Edition“‘Deep Hurt’: NSW Coalition Apologises to Indian Community After Price’s Comments”
Senator Price's remarks have sparked calls for an apology and internal tensions, with Opposition Leader Ley engaging with the Indian Australian community to manage fallout.
- On Wednesday, Alex Hawke called Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's office and urged her to apologise, telling Sky News, `I had the guts to ring her and say, 'I think you've got a problem and I think you should apologise to the community,'`.
- Following anti-immigration rallies, Price's ABC interview claimed the government was bringing in 'large numbers' of Indian migrants, sparking the dispute.
- On Sunday, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley led a damage-control tour of Harris Park, Sydney's Little India, with Paul Scarr, Julian Leeser and Maria Kovacic, while some local businesses refused to engage until Price apologised or left the shadow ministry.
- Despite calls, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price resisted apologising, though she expressed regret and said she `regretted not being clearer` following demands by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and others.
- Senior Liberals warned that Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's jump from the Nationals to the Liberals earlier this year with Angus Taylor fuelled factional rivalry, with Matthew Camenzuli citing deep divides in the party.
