Firebrand Liberal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has blamed the ABC for her comments claiming Labor was bringing Indian migrants into Australia to boost its electoral chances, insisting she has nothing to apologise for.

The Northern Territory senator said on Wednesday sections of the Australian community were concerned at “the core number, or the type, of migrants that are coming in”.
