Jacinta Price vows to 'make Australia great again' in Perth rally

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, a Coalition frontbencher, has announced her intention to 'make Australia great again' during a rally in Perth, a phrase reminiscent of Donald Trump's campaign slogan. While addressing supporters alongside Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, Price emphasized the need to restore Australia to its former glory, but later downplayed the significance of her choice of words, claiming she was unaware of the Trump connection. She asserted that her focus is solely on improving conditions for Australians, criticizing the media for being 'obsessed' with Trump. Dutton, when pressed on her remarks, redirected the conversation to addressing current economic challenges facing Australians, including the cost of living. Price's proposed role as shadow minister for government efficiency has drawn comparisons to Elon Musk’s initiatives in the U.S., though she insists her strategy is independent of Trump influences. The Coalition aims to counter Labor's narrative linking them to Trump's policies as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
