Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who opposed the Indigenous Voice, condemned Hanson’s remarks as revealing a profound lack of understanding. Senator Lidia Thorpe urged immediate action against racism, warning that without accountability, harmful rhetoric will persist — underscoring the millennia-old sophistication of First Peoples’ cultures. The fallout once again thrusts Hanson into national controversy, with critics insisting her words are not just false but deeply damaging to national unity.
