In short:
Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s defection to the Liberal Party has been criticised by some insiders as an attempt to assist the party’s conservative wing.
But she says the Liberal Party needs strong people “more than ever” in the wake of its election loss.
What’s next?
The Liberal Party is expected to meet at 10am on Tuesday in Canberra to elect a leader of the opposition and a deputy.
This really is trying hard to make it sound like she’s left the Nationals party and joined the Liberal party, when the reality is that she’s a Country Liberal Party (CLP) member that, as is her right, has changed her choice of which caucus she sits with.
