Jacinta Nampijinpa Price Defends ‘No’ Voters Against ‘Borderline Racist’ Label
The referendum rejecting the Voice to Parliament proposal has been a contentious issue in Australian politics, with the recent open letter anonymously labeling those who voted 'No' as borderline racists. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, the prominent Indigenous Australian activist and politician, has fiercely criticized the letter, arguing that it misrepresents the true sentiments of many Indigenous Australians and Australians at large.
A Divisive Letter
The open letter, shared by former Labor senator Nova Peris and activist Allira Davis, claimed that rejecting the Voice in the referendum was a shameful act. Price, who is of both Aboriginal and Anglo Celtic heritage, took issue with the anonymous authors' assertion, labelling it a cynical attempt to keep race in the national conversation without taking responsibility for their words.
Price's Counterpoint
Price argues that the referendum was not a rejection of recognition or the significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, but rather a rejection of the Voice body itself. She sees the result as an affirmation of every Australian's equal right to be heard, not a rejection of the right of anyone to be heard. Her criticism also extends to the anonymity of the letter's authors, asserting that if they truly believed in its content, they should have put their names to it.

Price's response highlights the complexity of the debate surrounding the Voice to Parliament movement. There is a clear division and heated rhetoric from both sides, and the referendum result has sparked further discussions about Indigenous recognition and reconciliation in Australia. It's a reminder that issues of Indigenous recognition and representation need to be approached with open and respectful dialogue, considering the diverse perspectives inherent in a country as multicultural as Australia.
