Liberal Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has renewed her criticism of Labor and the Greens, claiming both parties "treat culture as disposable," as she continues to campaign on migration after being sacked from the shadow front bench.

In an email to supporters, Senator Price said Australia's "strong border policies" had been "quietly dismantled" under the Albanese government.

"They opened the floodgates and 1.2 million people have arrived on our shores during their first term," she said. "Migration at the current scale and pace is putting excessive pressures on housing, infrastructure, and services."

Migration has become a heated issue in Australian politics, with right-wing groups — including some within the opposition — linking the cost-of-living crisis to mass migration.

A report from the Scanlon Foundation found that almost half of Australians believe migration levels are too high. However, evidence directly linking immigration to rising housing prices remains limited.

Last month, anti-immigration rallies turned violent, with an alleged neo-Nazi attack targeting the Indigenous Camp Sovereignty protest.

Despite the political pressure, the federal government confirmed this month the 2025–2026 immigration intake will remain at the same level as the current program, maintaining a focus on skilled migration. Net migration, which hit record levels in 2023 at more than half a million people, is expected to fall to around 255,000 this year — broadly in line with pre-pandemic levels.

Some conservatives have gone further, arguing the cultural makeup of immigrants is just as significant as the numbers, with several commentators calling for the preservation of Australia's Judeo-Christian heritage.

Senator Price reiterated her concerns in her email, telling supporters: "Labor and the Greens treat culture as disposable."

"Why else would they try to divide us by race only a couple of years ago? But, without a shared investment in Australia as a place and a culture, our national success cannot last."

She also argued that mass migration makes life "tougher for everyone".

"Not just Australians, but those migrants who genuinely want to become part of the Australian family. Migration is not just about numbers but about who we are," Senator Price said.

The NT Senator has faced criticism in recent weeks after falsely accusing Labor of importing Indian migrants to boost electoral votes. Her refusal to apologise and failure to back deputy leader Sussan Ley ultimately led to her removal from the opposition front bench.

Still, she has vowed to continue speaking on issues she believes matter to "millions of Australians," citing "Indigenous issues," the Chinese Communist Party's aggression, and the "ramifications of mass migration".

At the Conservative Political Action Conference Australia (CPAC) earlier this month, Senator Price told the crowd the Liberals lost the last election because they lacked the courage to "prosecute policies".

"We need to stop being a Labor-lite party or Labor in blue," she said, calling on her party to abandon net zero, cut migration, and restore family values. She described climate targets as "communism" and declared: "It's time the Liberals pushed back against this freedom-eroding nonsense."

"Labor and the Greens treat culture as disposable. They undermine and rewrite history, mock tradition and replace unity with division," she argued.

"Without a strong cultural identity, no economy will stand. Without social cohesion, no defence force can hold."
