Calls to protest Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's visit to the South West of Western Australia will see the Federal and state police, as well as private security, provide protection for the NT Senator.

This Friday Senator Price, the Coalition's Indigenous affairs spokesperson, and Liberal candidate for the seat of Forrest, Ben Small, will hold a discussion on the impacts of the Voice referendum and how it was defeated by the 'No' side, as well as government waste and the Opposition's plan to resurrect Australia during a cost-of-living crisis.

The NT Senator was popular in WA during the referendum amongst No voters, where just over 63 per cent of the electorate voted against the proposal to enshrine an Indigenous voice in the constitution. She has however remained relatively absent in the media—other than appearing on Sky News—so far this election campaign.

Noongar community leader Robert Eggington has used Facebook to call on other critics of Senator Price to protest her arrival in the city of Bunbury, less than two hours drive south of Perth.

Posting on a Noongar Facebook group, he wrote: "Need your support Noongar mob. She is not welcome here and we need to make that very clear."

Several comments on the post expressed opposition to the Senator's visit and her views.

A letter sent by Renae Isaacs-Guthridge, a Wardandi custodian who is also proudly connected to Country across the Noongar and Yamatji Nations, to Mr Small, highlighted the concerns of many about Senator Price visiting the region.

"Senator Price's well-documented positions on matters of truth-telling, voice and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice are considered by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to be harmful and dismissive of lived experiences," Ms Isaacs-Guthridge wrote.

Last month, Senator Price said she didn't feel safe after abandoning a proposed "pollies in the pub" event in Kempsey, NSW, along with Nationals MP Pat Conaghan.

Multiple Indigenous Elders claimed they were refused entry to the event, which was posted on the West Kempsey pub's social media and website, inviting the senator and MP to "say hello to the locals" and "have a chat".

Dunghutti and Gumbaynggirr woman Lynne Holten told local paper News of the Area she was not allowed inside the venue after organisers explained it was a "private meeting".

"It was never advertised as a private meeting, it was advertised as a public meeting," she said.

Kempsey Shire councillor and Dunghutti woman, Annette Lawrence, said she was "deeply shocked and upset to hear of the racial discrimination" upon arriving at the event.

"There were many community members suddenly upset and confused as to why they were being told to stay outside," she wrote on social media.

Senator Price said she cancelled because "aggressive and angry individuals" were reportedly suggesting she "wasn't allowed to go into the venue".

Other locals said the Senator had failed to contact the Indigenous group before her arrival, which was "protocol" for official visits. This prompted Senator Price to state that, "Any assertion that local Elders should be notified, and permission sought before a Senator or Member of the Australian Parliament holds a private event in their area is completely baseless."

Unlike the Kempsey gathering, the location of the Bunbury event has not been advertised. Ticketholders will be advised of the venue after they register.

In her letter to Mr Small, Ms Isaacs-Guthridge claimed that bringing such "dismissive" views to Wardandi Country "without appropriate consultation" appeared to "disregard local cultural protocols and community sentiment".

"Wardandi elders and custodians deserve the basic respect of being consulted on matters that directly affect our communities and cultural safety," she said in her letter, as reported by The Australian.

"When politicians use our Boodja (country) as platforms for divisive narratives without proper engagement, we feel undermined and silenced on our own country."

In response, Senator Price told The Nightly: "This is not about race or traditional culture – it is about certain people and groups who disagree with me over political issues.

"My freedom of movement as an Australian woman in 2025 should not be threatened or restricted in my own country."
