Price declares ‘I’m back, baby’

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price demands a key frontbench role after being sidelined for controversial remarks; her return is part of Angus Taylor's plan to restore conservative influence.

  • Angus Taylor, New Liberal leader, is expected to promote Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Andrew Hastie back to the Liberal frontbench in the coming days.
  • Price was sidelined after her shadow ministry demotion last year by former Liberal leader Sussan Ley following her refusal to apologise for remarks about Indian migrants made in a September 3 ABC TV interview.
  • In a media appearance, Price declared `I'm back, baby`, attacked Alex Hawke for `throwing her under the bus`, and defended Angus Taylor as `a good bloke`.
  • Taylor won the party-room ballot 34 votes to 17, which sources say freed him to pick the best available frontbench after Sussan Ley was toppled following 276 days in the job.
  • Facing low poll ratings, the Coalition trails Pauline Hanson’s One Nation and Angus Taylor targets immigration policy in coming weeks while deciding on the March 1 Nationals return.
