Jacinta Yangapi Nampijinpa Price (Warlpiri pronunciation:[jaŋabinambiɟ̊inba]; born 12 May 1981) is an Australian politician from the Northern Territory. She has been a senator for the Northern Territory since the 2022 federal election. She is a member of the Country Liberal Party, a politically conservative party operating in the Northern Territory affiliated with the national Coalition. She sits with the National Party in federal parliament. She has been the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs since April 2023.
Price has Aboriginal and Anglo-Celtic heritage – her mother is Warlpiri community leader and former politician Bess Price, her father an educator with Irish ancestry.[1][2] After a career as a singer-songwriter, she was a councillor for Alice Springs between 2015 and August 2021, serving as deputy mayor in her last year as councillor. During this time, in 2019 she stood unsuccessfully for the Division of Lingiari at the 2019 federal election.
Price's activism and views focus primarily on issues faced by Aboriginal communities, and she is a vocal advocate for conservative Aboriginal politics in Australia. She has highlighted the high rates of domestic and other violence in Aboriginal communities, and advocates for a law and order approach. She is critical of welfare dependency and "opportunistic collectivism". She opposed the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament, and thinks that calls to change Australia Day and the Australian Flag are counterproductive to Aboriginal advancement.
