Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has criticized a far-left activist who encouraged his followers to destroy monuments and disrupt Australia Day celebrations.
The shadow minister for Indigenous Australians warned protesters that Australia would not tolerate violence, even in the name of activism.
His comment comes after activist Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg encouraged protesters to burn heritage sites and destroy anything with colonial links.
“Calls for violence on Australia Day should be absolutely condemned,” Senator Price told Sky News on Monday.
“We have seen very recently in our country what happens when we fail to stop those who resort to violent forms of activism in the first place.”
Tuet-Rosenberg has called for violence in several inflammatory and divisive social media posts.
‘There are just over two weeks until the day of the invasion. Go and play snatch the flag. Burn them all,” said a story shared on his Instagram.
Someone go set fire to Cooks Cottage. Go and destroy the monuments to colonization. All. Cut down your European trees.

Highly controversial activist Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg encouraged violence on Australia Day
‘Set fire to their heritage sites. Decapitate their statues and tear them down from their base.
‘Fuck your silly war monuments that glorify Western imperialism while refusing to acknowledge border wars.
‘Universities, suburbs, streets, shops, etc., named after genocidal colonizers? Screw them too!’
In another post, Tuet-Rosenberg encouraged her followers to “have fun” as she interrupted the January 26 celebrations.
“Placing statues and burning monuments of genocidal colonizers is an absolutely basic minimum, it is essentially a bit of fun,” his story said.
‘Get out of this silly season and have as much fun as you can.
‘And don’t forget to charge your grinder batteries and bring your lighters!’
Senator Price implored Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to condemn calls for violence on January 26.

Ms Tuet-Rosenberg (pictured) asked her followers to target flags and historical monuments on Australia Day.
“I would expect the Prime Minister to publicly condemn calls for violence on Australia Day in the strongest terms,” he said.
Ms. Tuet-Rosenberg, who described herself as a “queer, Jewish, Chinese woman of color,” made headlines in early 2024 after deceiving hundreds of Jewish businesses and artists.
In a series of nearly 200 Instagram stories, he shared his private information and told his 8,000 followers to “let these damn Zionists know no damn peace.”
Ms. Tuet-Rosenberg is also the co-founder of the anti-oppression and racism consulting and training company in Hue.
The company lost its contract with the Australian Human Rights Commission to produce anti-racism training materials after Ms Tuet-Rosenberg’s behavior came to light.
Despite calls for disruption, 69 per cent of respondents in a recent poll agreed to keep Australia Day on January 26.
The date of the national holiday has come under fire in recent years as it marks the day the First Fleet arrived in Sydney in 1788.
Supporters see the date as the beginning of modern Australia, while critics claim it was the beginning of the suffering of indigenous people under colonialism.

A recent poll found that 69 per cent of Australians supported Australia Day being celebrated on January 26.
Senator Price attributed the growing division to Albanese’s failed 2023 Voice referendum to Parliament.
“It gave people permission to fight against vocal minorities who don’t represent the views of the majority, and we should be grateful for that,” he said.
At least 81 councils across Australia will not host Australia Day citizenship ceremonies this year.
This is a big jump from just four councils that refused last year.
Albanese allowed councils in 2022 to cancel citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day, a policy the opposition has promised to change if elected this year.
The Prime Minister’s deputy minister Patrick Gorman said Australia Day was a time to “respect, reflect and celebrate”.
“Australia Day is a day to reflect on our full and complex history, and acknowledge the past, respect and celebrate the survival, resilience and enduring culture of First Nations Peoples,” he said.
‘As Australians, there are many things we can be proud of: our democracy, our shared values, the strength, diversity and generosity of our people and our beautiful natural environment.
“Australia Day is about much more than one day’s events – it’s about who we are as a nation and what we aspire to be.”
