Liberal Senator Jacinta Price has been removed as Shadow Minister for Defence Industry after refusing to apologise for her views on migration and for not endorsing the current opposition leader.

On Sept. 3, Senator Price said she was concerned about the “core number” of migrants entering Australia and the pressure this placed on infrastructure.
