Price says better education system would ensure young people were not ‘indoctrinated’
The interview closes out with questions about Gee’s criticisms about the Coalition losing young people with its stance.
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price says that Gee should “worry about his own electorate”.
Pushed on the wider issue, Price says that young people have never favoured the Coalition and says:
All I can say, is that the polls are favouring a majority no vote. Some of those might be young people. A majority of them won’t be. But that’s what I’m aiming for – a no vote across the country.
A better education system for our young people so they’re not indoctrinated, either, would be great.
Because then maybe our young people would seek to be better informed when they go to make their vote, whether it’s at an election or at a referendum.

Mr Gee also said that the party room changed. The only difference that the party room had changed was that there is an Indigenous woman in it since the last time he was in it.
And he doesn’t agree with me, nor did he ever have a conversation with me about the voice before he decided to leave the Nationals party room.
So, you know, his opinion matters very little to me given the opinions of many Indigenous Australians that I’ve spoken to across the country – they’re the ones that matter to me.

PM should not only listen to Indigenous voices ‘that are saying the things that he wants to hear’: Price
Q: But that’s the point – shouldn’t Peter Dutton have gone up for another reason – to listen to Indigenous voices?
Price:
But he has already done that. I would urge Mr Albanese to listen to the voices that Mr Dutton has listened to. We have called for an inquiry into the sexual abuse of Indigenous children.
But the prime minister has ignored those voices.
They’re the voices that he should be listening to – not the voices that are saying the things that he wants to hear.
But Mr Dutton has listened to those voices and has been to Garma to hear what’s going on.
The Gumatj have been very successful in what they’re doing to create enterprises and support those in…
