Jacinta Price’s denialism takes the Coalition to new lows

Jacinta Nampijinpa Value’s dismissal of any adverse impacts of colonisation on First Peoples and mockery of the concept of intergenerational trauma takes the core concept of the No marketing campaign and extends it to its full, logical conclusion: the erasure of First Peoples and their distinctive expertise of dispossession, dislocation and genocide.

In every week when Professor Marcia Langton has been demonised for making the easy level that the essential arguments of the No marketing campaign at all times resolve into racism, Value’s remarks exhibit that the No marketing campaign ultimately rejects as both non-existent or irrelevant the impression of the invasion and colonisation of Australia on First Peoples. Her explicit model is one among excessive assimilation: Indigenous peoples now have working water and meals, colonisation had a constructive impression, and the Indigenous Affairs portfolio that she herself holds needs to be dissolved.
