Speaking in the federal Senate, Price says: ‘My niece’s life was taken senselessly, selfishly and horrifically.’ Price says ‘entrenched dysfunction’ in town camps needs to be addressed and she is ‘tired of excuses’ from governments in addressing it. ‘As my niece’s aunt, I have an obligation to fight for justice in her honour.’ The condolence motion, introduced by the minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, mourns the death of the five-year-old, who was allegedly abducted and murdered by a 47-year-old man near Old Timers or Ilyperenye town camp on the outskirts of Alice Springs
