Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Price has slammed Greens leader Adam Bandt’s “deeply divisive behaviour” concerning removing the Australian flag at press conferences.
Mr Bandt recently said, "for many Australians, this flag represents dispossession and the lingering pains of colonisation".
Ms Price said Mr Bandt’s comments were disrespectful.
“I think it’s deeply disrespectful, it’s deeply divisive behaviour,” she told Sky News Australia.
“To suggest that Indigenous Australians are helpless victims that only people like Adam Bandt has the capacity of rescuing … it’s ridiculous.
“I find it insulting and racist, it’s a racial stereotype to suggest we’re these helpless victims.”
