what did price say about indians

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, an Australian senator, made controversial comments about Indian immigration. She suggested in a radio interview that large numbers of Indians had been allowed to migrate to Australia to support the Labor Party at the polls. Price implied that the government was prioritizing Indian migrants to bolster Labor's vote base, a claim that was widely denounced as false and offensive, especially by the Indian Australian community. Her comments were seen as a form of scapegoating and dog whistling that contributed to anti-Indian sentiment during a period of anti-immigration protests in Australia. Despite pressure, Price refused to apologize for her remarks, leading to calls from community leaders and politicians for her to do so. The controversy has caused damage to the Liberal Party and strained relations with the Indian community in Australia.
