Shadow Portfolio — 12 May 2026
Senator Nampijinpa Price used the Senate's motion mourning the death of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby to move an amendment demanding immediate Federal and Territory government action on family violence, policing resources, and child-protection failures in remote Indigenous communities. The amendment frames the opposition's position as results-oriented — rejecting symbolic gestures in favour of accountability and measurable outcomes.
During a division, Senator Price interjected with the words "Keep the crimes going in the camps. Keep the crimes going" — a statement that will draw scrutiny in its own right and is likely to shape coverage of the day's proceedings.
The official records this note draws on — the raw primary documents themselves, as published.
