Warning: This story contains details about domestic violence and may distress some readers. "We were always of the view that we needed to progress the lives of Aboriginal people, that was just a given," Senator Price says of her upbringing. Senator Price argued that life was harsh for Indigenous people before the arrival of Europeans, with "no shoes to wear … no supermarkets to buy our food, no houses with comfy beds to sleep in". Former minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney says Senator Price's repeated argument that there are no ongoing impacts of colonisation is "complete nonsense". But Senator Price's 2016 post, and the media storm and public appearances that followed, was a turning point, says Colin, who knew then that their dream of "changing the world through song" had been usurped.
