Liberal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has rebuffed calls for her to apologise for controversial comments on Indian migration, claiming she has received "overwhelming" community support.
Despite a growing chorus of calls for her to say sorry for remarks claiming the Labor government was bringing in more Indian migrants to bolster its vote, the outspoken Northern Territory senator said she would continue to speak out on migration.
"My comments were certainly clumsy. Unfortunately, the issue that's of great concern, which I won't be silenced on, is the issue of mass migration in our country," she told reporters in Perth on Wednesday.
"There has been overwhelming outreach from many members of the Australian community in support of me and particularly with this current situation."
