She opposed the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament, and thinks that calls to change Australia Day and the Australian flag are counterproductive to Aboriginal advancement.

[5] Her parents met in Yuendumu in 1976, working at the local school; David as a teacher in the bilingual program, while Bess was producing Warlpiri literacy materials.

[6] Bess Price is a fellow member of the CLP, who served as a minister in the Adam Giles NT Government, holding portfolios including housing and statehood, and was a vocal supporter of the Howard government's 2007 Northern Territory Intervention, that implemented new legislation in response to the crises facing Aboriginal communities.

[7][8] Price has written that her mother was "born under a tree and lived within an original Warlpiri structured environment through a kinship system on Aboriginal land.

She said in a 2017 interview that her values aligned with generally "with the old white fellas" on the council; however, she was against fracking as there is a potential risk to water sources from this practice.

She had called a forum with women, including town camp residents, to discuss community needs and antisocial behaviour.

[21] Price was the top scoring councillor candidate at the 2017 Alice Springs local government election, and stated at the time that she was committed to the Alice Springs Town Council, however six months into her four-year term, she annouced she was seeking endorsement to be the CLP candidate for the Division of Lingiari at the upcoming 2019 Australian federal election.

In response, a CLP spokesperson told the ABC News that her motivation for sharing the video was part of her long campaign against the use of religion or culture to justify violence against women.

[31] Price became a Senator for the Northern Territory at the 2022 federal election, replacing Sam McMahon, whom she defeated for preselection in June 2021.

[32][33] She was pre-selected in the Country Liberal Party's number one Senate ticket position for the election, and successfully won the second of two seats alongside Labor's Malarndirri McCarthy.

[37] Prior to making the address, she took part in a traditional ceremony with her grandmother handing her a nulla-nulla hunting stick sourced from her Country.

Wearing traditional headdress for her maiden speech, she then outlined her priorities for office, citing housing, women's safety and economic development as key concerns.

The Age reported that Price made an "impassioned plea against 'false narratives' of racism and [called] the push for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament a symbolic gesture that could divide black and white Australia".

It is not good enough that almost all of these children have witnessed or been subject to normalised alcohol abuse, domestic, family and sexual violence throughout their young lives and is the reason for their presence on our streets.

Such neglect in great numbers would not be accepted in the prosperous suburbs of any of our capital cities.Price invoked the legacy of the first Aboriginal Senator Neville Bonner to criticise welfare dependency and "opportunistic collectivism" as barriers to Aboriginal advancement:[40] Like my distinguished predecessor Senator Neville Bonner, I believe free enterprise coupled with sound fiscal management in a progressive commercial environment forms the basis for economic independence.

It is a constant cycle of Indigenous Industry gravy train consumers, in a static system that gathers under the banner of 'opportunistic collectivism'.Indigenous leader and politician Warren Mundine called the address the "greatest speech" he'd heard in parliament.

[49] In her maiden speech, Price rejected the idea of racism causing Aboriginal deaths in custody as a "false narrative", and told Parliament: "We cannot support legislation that prioritises freedom of the perpetrator over justice for the victim, in an attempt to reduce rates of incarceration.

[55] Price has been a vocal supporter of alcohol restrictions in remote Aboriginal communities and the cashless debit card, and criticised the Labor government for overturning these welfare policies.

[56] Price opposed the Albanese government's proposal for a referendum to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament within the Australian Constitution on the grounds that it would be a racially divisive bureaucracy that couldn't be dismantled,[57] that it would set Indigenous and non-Indigenous people on an unequal footing,[46] and would imply that Aboriginal people are a "separate entity to the rest of Australia".

She, along with her Scottish husband, featured in the advertisement that talked about her life, and her upbringing in Alice Springs, and advocated for people to vote against a "race-based referendum".

Three weeks later, in a keynote speech to the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship in London, Price described the outcome of the referendum as a turning point in the fight against identity politics:[64]They tried to teach everyday Australians that we belong to a racist country, tried to teach our children that they shouldn’t be proud to call themselves Australian, tried to suggest that if you voted No that you belonged to the wrong side of history – well, we showed them.

[64] In an interview on the sidelines of the conference she mentioned that several European diplomats had wondered why Australia had even considered creating division along lines of race.

[64] Price was presented with the inaugural Freedom and Hope Award at the Australian Conservative Political Action Conference held in Sydney in October 2022.

[10] Price launched defamation proceedings against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2019 in response to its coverage of her "Mind the Gap" tour.

[68] In August 2022 journalist Peter FitzSimons threatened to sue Price for defamation when she complained that he had been rude and aggressive in a telephone interview.
