The 90 leaders of the powerful Central Land Council, representing dozens of remote communities in central Australia, have issued an extraordinary joint statement rejecting the views of Northern Territory senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, saying she “needs to stop pretending we are her people”.

The CLC’s 90 members, elected by their communities to sit on the council, represent around 24,000 Aboriginal people across 777,000sq km, and represent more than fifteen different language groups in central Australia.
