Jacinta, Wong, Cash Wrecks Welcome to country Virtue signalling Photo by Blow the Truth Canberra, ACT   – A heated exchange in the Australian Senate has seen Foreign Minister Penny Wong 's attempt to chastise Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price over her "Welcome to Country" criticism spectacularly backfire, triggering an explosive intervention from Deputy Liberal Leader Michaelia Cash .

My bill was drafted in response to calls from vulnerable community members across the Northern Territory and a letter that was dated 9 June, representing nine separate Aboriginal organisations, seeking urgent support from the federal Minister for Indigenous Australians after failed attempts at communicating these concerns with the Northern Territory Fyles government. The Northern Territory government's response to community cries was followed by neglect and inaction, all justified by accusations that alcohol restrictions were nothing more than race based policies. It was only when the Prime Minister was shamed by a Sydney based radio program that he was prompted to make a fl...
