Senator Jacinta Price says Albo made a FIFO visit to Bibjari, NT recently but is not interested in finding solutions for struggling communities, instead is ”full of it”
By NT Senator Jacinta Price
It’s hard not to be cynical sometimes.
I’ve told you endless stories of government failure and the neglect of my community and it never seems to get better.
I keep speaking out about the Prime Minister’s absolute dereliction of duty after his Voice failure to get back to the real work of finding solutions for Aboriginal communities and it’s just not happening.
This week I visited the community of Binjari.
They’re a strong, resilient community who are building something special without government funding, thanks to the work of the Aboriginal Community Corporation led by Yvonne Booth and Deb Aloisi.
They’re an inspiration.
But then you hear that Anthony Albanese, and his entourage of Labor luminaries – Linda Burney, Malarndirri McCarthy, and Marion Scrymgour – also recently visited Binjari.
But unlike me, they didn’t meet with Yvonne or Deb.
They didn’t have any meetings with any of the other board members either.
In typical fashion, the Prime Minister for Photo Ops did a FIFO visit for an announcement and some nice pictures.
That’s it.
It’s clear the PM cares only about the perks of the job and hanging out with elites and activists.
But, despite myself, I try to hope he’ll step up one day.
I’m cynical about the chances of that.
But this week I was also able to visit places where ordinary Aussies are getting on with the job.
And that’s where I was able to find some real hope.
At the Ranger Mine site in Jabiru I learnt about the world-leading rehabilitation work they’ve been doing since the mine’s closure in 2021.
The team on site are changing the landscape to restore it to a natural part of the Aussie outback.
I also visited the new Katherine Cotton Gin, which is the first Cotton manufacturing facility in the Northern Territory.
It’s going to provide jobs and a massive boost to the Territory’s already great agricultural scene.
And in visiting these places I remember that there’s no point putting hope in an elite activist like our Prime Minister.
He’s got his agenda and he’s picked a side.
It’s not yours and mine.
But there is hope, and it’s in the families and farmers of Binjari and Jabiru and across the Territory.
And while the PM flies out to his next gala dinner, thee families are working hard to make our country great.

The NT has more water than Queensland and NSW cotton growing areas. Much more natural water in the river systems and reliable annual rainfall unique to the NT as opposed to any other farming area. The small area of cotton farming in the NT is much less than Qld and NSW. New cotton varieties require much less water than the plants of 25 years ago did. NT is ideal for cotton because cotton seed meal is high protein cattle feed. Editor
I don’t want to be a wet blankeet, but…
Jacinta Price has no idea what she is talking about. Desperation is making you guys gullible.
I was a massive fan of Price when she spoke out against the Voice, but when it comes to the NT I have quickly discovered why those who know her watch on in silence. Pretty much the entire nation has heard about Alice Springs youth crime chaos but Darwin is no better. Those of us who have lived through the breakdown of culture and family authority saw this coming but our warnings of forty years ago fell on deaf ears. There were times when we successfully reversed the trend, but that was because we had successful networks and people who had the guts to do their job properly. News of our successes was quashed by social workers and judiciary who saw people power as a threat to their power base. This has got worse.
Jacinta has received documents that provide evidence of past successes in ending youth crime epidemics, and utterly dysfunctional communities changing overnight into model communities. The people who can achieve this have been identified and the reason there has been no response is that, as with all politicians, she is all talk. The same applies to Warren Mundine.
As to the cotton, the very last thing the NT needs is cotton crops. Just ask the people of the Murray Darling Basin what they think of Cubby. This is an attack on the NT’s most precious resource… water. Likewise attempts to destroy the Great Artesian basin. Price clearly neither knows not cares what happens to the NT.
And as to the Ranger rehabilitation project, during the 1990s when the project started, those scientists were planting all the wrong trees, mostly acacia ariculaformis and other grassland scrub wattles. Being happier times, when we brought this to their attention, that this was stringybark, ironwood, woolybutt-dominated woodland, they immediately changed direction. Price would have no idea why this project succeeded, this being due to OSS scientists who were open to suggestion from the community; something Price would oppose.
Reckon they’ll need to serve chardonnay and champagne to stand any chance of a visit by the “elite” political squad.
Your dead right albenesi ( i dont care if i spell his name right ) he is in with the one world mob selling Australia out behind our backs , another biden both are puppets to so called elites, this government need to be sacked snd tried for Treason after we bring back the death penalty before it is to late China own most of our land it needs to be reversed and put back in Australias hands
Thank God that the Aussies are finding a solution–And it is not with government..it is with ordinary aussies trying against this Satanic Govt….Jacinta, David Cole, Riccardo ,Carl, Darren, and all their helpers are the true Heroes helping Aussies get united together to bring Australia to a better world..but it is a hard slog. Much help and prayer needed. I wish I could do more.

I liked the story that all the speed signs in NT were changed from “110” to “NO” with a strip of black tape. Not so easy to get Canberra out of our lives, something which would benefit everyone, obviously excepting the population of Canberra.
