Shadow Indigenous Australians minister did not directly answer when asked whether she was comfortable with Johns staying as a leading no campaign figure
At a press conference on Tuesday calling for more funding for the Yipirinya school for Indigenous students in central Australia, Nampijinpa Price was asked about Johns’ comments.
“People can have their opinions,” she said. :My concern is the kids of Yipirinya right now, that’s the purpose of this particular media conference is about. I would prefer to be able to focus on marginalised children from my community than get into the weeds with other people’s opinions. It’s not what I’m here for.
Her staffer asked if there were further questions about the Yipirinya school, then the media conference was ended.Watt said in a statement the no campaign should distance itself from Johns.
