Central Australia's peak organisation representing local Indigenous people says the federal opposition's new shadow minister for Indigenous Australians, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, "neither speaks for them nor listens to them".
The Central Land Council (CLC) issued a joint statement following a meeting this week at Atitjere (Harts Range) where it strongly rejected Senator Price's political positions, said its members were "sick of [her] continued attacks on land councils and other peak Aboriginal organisations" and said "she needs to stop pretending we are her people".
