Jacinta Price Ignites Firestorm: ‘Mass Immigration is RUINING Australia – and Labor’s to Blame!’
- Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price lashes out at Albanese Government’s ‘mass migration agenda’
- Claims record 1.2 million new arrivals are making life tougher for EVERY Australian
- Warns that uncontrolled migration is harming the nation and undermining cultural identity
Liberal Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has launched a scathing attack on the Albanese Government’s immigration policies, accusing Labor of opening the ‘floodgates’ and ruining Australia. In a fiery speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Brisbane, Price claimed that the government’s ‘mass migration agenda’ is making life tougher for every Australian.
‘[Labor] has brought in a record 1.2 million people in its first term,’ Price said, her voice filled with emotion. ‘There’s a big difference between controlled, planned, and sustainable migration, on the one hand. And on the other hand – uncontrolled, unplanned, and unsustainable migration.’
Price acknowledged the historical contributions of migrants to Australia, but argued that the current approach lacked balance and foresight. ‘We all recognise the contributions that so many migrants have made over many generations, migrants who have become cherished Australian citizens,’ she said. ‘But for recently arrived migrants and permanent residents who want to join Team Australia too, the impacts of high migration levels are being felt.’
The senator urged the Liberal Party to shift the migration debate toward strengthening families, suggesting that reducing migration could ease pressure on housing, congestion, and public services. ‘Reducing mass migration means more housing, less congestion, better services, and that benefits all families,’ she said.
Price linked migration policy to broader social and economic challenges, including anaemic economic growth, an ageing population, and declining workforce participation. ‘Too many young Australians are locked out of the property market, or can only afford homes that are ill-suited for raising a family,’ she said.
Among her proposed solutions were promoting townhouses over high-rise developments, expanding family tax benefits, offering more flexible childcare options, and restoring civics education in schools. ‘Responsible and proud citizenship underpins better families – and a better nation,’ she said.
Price also took aim at Labor and the Greens, accusing them of undermining Australia’s cultural identity. ‘Migration is not just about numbers. It’s about who we are. Labor and the Greens treat culture as disposable,’ she said.
‘They undermine and re-write history, mock tradition, and replace unity with division. We know that high migration levels impact everyone, including recent migrants.’
