‘Deeply insulting’: Jacinta Price blasts ‘fabricated’ Indigenous cultural heritage
Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians Jacinta Nampijinpa Price slams “fabricated” Indigenous cultural heritage as “deeply insulting”. Her remarks come after court documents revealed collaboration between non-Indigenous activists, advisors and the Environmental Defenders Office to present Indigenous cultural heritage claims to block Santos’s Barossa gas project. “It’s not just deeply concerning, but it’s deeply, deeply insulting,” Ms Price told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “In terms of Aboriginal culture, probably one of the worst ways that you can disrespect Aboriginal people in this way just by completely and utterly fabricating dreaming stories to suit an agenda of environmentalists and Green’s activists.”
